About This Home

As of December 2021

Splendid is the only word to describe this traditional Western Section dwelling within a short distance to Palmer Square! Its award-winning renovation personifies taste and elegance, while at the same time creating an ambiance of comfort and relaxation.Timeless architecture and charming details combine to offer residents a true work-of-art. The spacious, free-flowing interior is light-filled, encompassing sets of French doors and a variety of customized windows, including Palladian upstairs. The focus on light begins at the entrance. A glass-paned French-style front door and broad entryway open to a full-length view of the outdoor Mahogany deck. Both sophisticated entertaining and relaxed living opportunities abound. French doors in the formal room, family room, and dining room open to the large-scale deck. Curved archways lead the way from one room to another, enhancing the beautiful decor. A charming den is also filled with light, and offers the captivating addition of a window seat. The gourmet kitchen, appointed with state-of-the art appliances, polished black granite countertops, buffet counter, and built-in wine cooler also features handsome Spanish terracotta tile flooring, as does the entryway. The main bedroom ensuite features a luxurious bathroom with whirlpool tub as well as an adjoining sitting room and various closets. Two spacious bedrooms share a hall bathroom with tub shower and an ensuite bedroom has a full bathroom with a large soaking tub. A finished lower level not only includes ample recreation, exercise, and office space but also a kitchen and two full baths, easily transforming into a separate apartment or in-law suite. Several sliding doors provide direct access to a blue-stone patio and a carport. The views from the upstairs windows look out upon a sea of green; a multitude of trees fill the horizon, and overlook the landscaped backyard. This also includes a nostalgic foot bridge above a small meandering stone-walled creek. Formal hedges are paired on either side of the front entrance, accompanying the attractive plantings surrounding the perimeter. This inspired property will become a wonderful home to an equally-inspired resident!
