Welcome to this stately 1925 detached home, meticulously and thoughtfully renovated by the current owners to exacting standards that cleverly blend period architectural details and contemporary style and sophistication throughout the house. Incomparably sited on a hillside high above the street, this 7,500-square-foot lot takes full advantage of cooling breezes and all-day sun and light, along with peaceful treetop and garden view that you’ll enjoy from the south-facing classic columned front porch with unparalleled privacy from the elevated setting. The grand-scale living room spans the entire width of the home, with replacement wood-frame double-paned Renewal by Andersen windows, recessed lighting, and a new front door with glass sidelights and transom for additional light.
