Property Description
Presenting a unique opportunity to own a Craftsman home with original character and modern functionality. Located in the La France Craftsman district, this home retains many of its original Craftsman features including hardwood flooring, leaded glass details, and built-in cabinetry and has been renovated with high end finishes that complement its original architecture. The show stopping kitchen features custom cabinetry, copper countertops, and Thermador appliances, including a 48” range and paneled refrigerator and freezer. All bathrooms have been updated with top of the line fixtures and finishes including marble tile and custom cabinetry. The dining room is full of Arts and Crafts details: bay windows hung in a curve, built-in cabinets with leaded glass doors, and handsome wainscoting throughout. The home flows seamlessly with a harmonious and efficient layout on both the first and second floors. It seems the utmost care has been placed in the design of this home in both the last and current century. The property sits on a generous lot with gardens decades in the making. A wide front porch stands ready for fond memories of warm summer nights and slow mornings. The backyard is a peaceful refuge with mature trees and ample room for entertaining. In addition to its aesthetic features, the property is conveniently located near schools, parks, and shopping. They say there’s no perfect house, but this one does seem to come close.
