If George Watts Carr and Brian Shawcroft made a house-baby, this house would be it! A modern addition was envisioned and integrated with the original Colonial Revival by architects Ellen Cassilly and Meredith Pittman. Thoughtful consideration was given to the neighboring homes and echoed in the exterior design. BuildSense implemented the renovation in 2012-13, with sensitivity to many of the home's original features. The main floor offers a den, living room, dining room, kitchen, and half bath. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a hall bath, plus a study/nursery and the primary bedroom with two closets and an en-suite bathroom. Outside is the most delightful and deep front porch with two fans for bug-free summer sitting ... plus a fire pit! The backyard is fenced and includes specimen plantings and raised beds for three-season gardening. Chickens can convey! Detached wired workshop/storage completes this one-of-a-kind Watts Hillandale home. Roll/stroll to three neighborhood parks, 9th Street, Duke, grocery stores, restaurants.
