Designed by architect John Todd Hetherington this Stucco Arts and Crafts Beauty is truly an Oasis in the City! Situated on 2 lots measuring 100 x 187, the lovingly restored & updated home with 4bedrooms, 2.5 baths, both side & rear gardens, plus 3 car garage and original chicken coop, is a rare and treasured find. The renovation, restoration and updates honor the original craftsmanship & design of this gracious home. The generously sized foyer is but a glimpse of what awaits you. The living room was meant for entertaining. Features of this grand room include a glass paned pocket door, coffered ceiling, fireplace with vintage mantel, built in cabinets & window seats. Natural light is abundant thru the leaded glass windows, all with custom storms new in 2014. The formal dining room overlooks the side garden, here the coffered ceiling is repeated, and existing built-ins for extra storage. The den is nicely sized with new windows & storm door in 2019, it opens to a side porch leading to the yard. The original footprint is all that remains after the 2014 renovation of the gourmet kitchen. The elevated function is evident in the cabinetry with custom storage solutions, granite counters, stainless appliances & revamped breakfast nook overlooking the rear yard. The second floor offers a primary bedroom en suite with original white tile, fixtures, & built-ins, plus a walk-in closet custom designed in 2013. There are 3 additional bedrooms and full bath upstairs. On your way to the family room in the English basement complete with leaded glass windows & fireplace (decorative), you'll want to make a stop in the wine room steps off the main foyer. Not a detail was spared in the restoration of the exterior; from the romantic storybook roof (in keeping with the original design), gutters and stucco repair, to the custom colors & trim. The 3 car garage built in 2015, intentionally appears as a coach house from the street. This architecturally significant property awaits new owners to move in and enjoy! *Please note, what is designated as 4th bedroom is currently used as an office, wine room shows as library in the room dimensions below.
