About This Home
As of July 2022Located on a wide, tree-lined street in the prestigious Elmwood district, this Spanish Mediterranean retreat is a buyer’s dream realized. Originally built in 1901, the home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt in 2014, including the fully fenced and landscaped yard with working fountain. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, eat-in chefs’ kitchen, living and formal dining rooms, study, entertainment room, laundry, server/utility room and upstairs terrace off the ensuite, it is clear that no expense was spared in appointing this modern home. Featuring top-end stainless steel appliances, Murano glass chandelier and custom hand-blown light fixtures plus recessed and reflective lighting, electric blackout shutters in all bedrooms, Brazilian cherry wood floors, and hydronic radiant heating system, the discriminating buyer can see the care that was taken in the reconstruction of this home.
