High tech meets classic Victorian craftsmanship with spectacular results! A rare find located in a prime
block of the historic Mexican War Streets. The combined talents of this engineer and artist couple are
evident throughout in attention to detail and style. Every inch of the property from roof to basement to
carriage house has been meticulously cleaned, rejuvenated or renovated and redecorated. Systems in
the home from the all new LED lighting and security to heating & cooling can be controlled or
monitored remotely by smart phone. The bright kitchen includes high end cabinets, Viking range,
new KitchenAid fridge and dishwasher, quartz and butcher block counter tops, an island with seating and
direct access to the lovely rear covered porch. The large dressing room/laundry off the primary bedroom
is a wow! The two story carriage house with parking for 2 cars is a lovely backdrop for the private fenced
brick patio. Important exterior improvements 40 year roof & Pella windows.
