We invite you to come see the old-world craftsmanship, modern infrastructure, and timeless design of this home. Warm, relaxed, and comfortable, fully updated without being stripped of its charm, understated and calmly impressive. On the market for the first time in more than 20 years, this is a rare opportunity to become the next caretakers of this iconic 1925 home. Fully and lovingly restored with deep respect for the craftsmanship with which it was originally built, this home is for the buyer who is looking for both style and substance. An impressive home in any era, this Arts & Crafts 4-Square was built with figured quarter-sawn white oak floors, quarter-sawn white oak trim, spacious rooms, tall ceilings throughout, and a truly functional floor plan with large bedrooms, real closets, a laundry room upstairs, and plenty of storage. Set up above the street, the home has amazing natural light with treehouse views into the canopy of the 100-year-old sycamore trees and the natural landscaping of the Gilmer Park Red Butte Creek gully. Silky soapstone countertops and hand-crafted face-framed cabinetry throughout. The built-in bookcases in the downstairs family room were saved from the original F Street library, with the original brass nameplates on some of the shelves. The recent addition of a tastefully designed attached 3-car garage (rare for the area) provides not only ample parking but also a spacious elevated deck for entertaining. A more private south-facing deck has a relaxing hot tub and a sheltered patio for morning coffee. The large fully finished and heated workshop downstairs could be repurposed as a 4th car bay off the garage.
