Absolutely gorgeous home in the West Avenues. This property has been completely remodeled with no detail overlooked. The original stone home has wonderful curb appeal with extensive floor plan changes and a new large addition behind it, including a lovely ground floor master suite plus a garage apartment. No cost was spared on the huge gourmet kitchen with the best of appointments from the extensive cherry cabinetry, to the 7 burner/2 oven Thermador chef’s range and matching Thermador fridge/freezer set, to the massive island, and handy coffee/wet bar counter plus of course a large pantry. There is a breakfast area and cooks desk in the kitchen in addition to the formal separate dining room with its sparkling Schonbeck crystal chandelier. The entire home is either rebuilt or refinished with lovely Douglas Fir and tile floors, exquisite lighting, mosaic tile work and tasteful details throughout. Including the master suite with it’s sumptuous bath featuring the clawfoot tub (stamped 1905), marble countertops, tiled shower and walk in closet. The old staircase was moved and a lovely reproduction created to access the two upstairs bedrooms, one full bath and a cozy family room/office area. Even the laundry and mudroom access to the garage is spectacular with a huge granite counter top and more cherry cabinetry. Unlike most older houses, this home has plenty of storage! The heating system is new with a high efficiency boiler for both in-floor radiant and baseboard heat plus a ‘split’ system that provides alternate heat and air conditioning. The roof and windows were also replaced and the home insulated. Of course there is great outdoor living space: a covered outside dining area with a flagstone patio and hot tub. The grounds are fully fenced and sprinklered. The two car garage was also expanded and a second level added to create a lovely one bedroom apartment complete with a full bath, kitchen, granite counters and a small deck. This property is an aesthetic pleasure to view and live in, one where character and continuity has truly been maintained throughout with taste and panache.
