About This Home
As of February 2025To call the setting of 928 S El Molino 'picturesque' barely scratches the surface. Nestled on an unusually large corner lot, on a block so idyllic it seems plucked from a movie, this stunning character home is among Madison Heights' finest. From its beautiful Italian Revival architecture, to its timeless elegance, to its exquisite craftsmanship, you've found the perfect backdrop for savoring life's next wonderful chapter. As you enter, the grand foyer showcases intricate woodwork, old-world design flourishes, and inviting warmth-a fitting prelude for the splendor that awaits within. The living room, framed by French doors and windows, is filled with radiant light. Picture holiday festivities in this inviting space--wrapping paper strewn about, and a cozy fire crackling in the Batchelder fireplace. Open to an expansive patio, you can easily transition outdoors to unwind with a nice glass of wine while the sun sets and friendly neighbors stroll by. The window-wrapped dining room is equally ideal for hosting sophisticated dinner parties or simply savoring a quiet, home-cooked meal with loved ones. Through the butler's pantry, the great room includes a gorgeous chef's kitchen with commercial grade appliances. Here you'll find every amenity imaginable for teaching a new generation the finer points of grandma's secret recipes. French doors open to your private backyard oasis, complete with a shimmering pool and a full outdoor kitchen. This is the perfect setting for charity fundraising soirees, graduation celebrations, and care-free pool parties on hot summer days. The fully equipped 579 sq.ft. guest house above the garage is a wonderful bonus as is the stately roundabout driveway that sits below. Upstairs, you'll discover 4 peaceful and spacious bedrooms, including the luxurious owner's suite. Each includes an ensuite bath and all but one features a charming Juliet balcony. Your next home should offer a magical setting for daily joys with those you treasure the most. Here, at 928 S El Molino, those special moments will shine brighter than ever.
