A perfect mélange of Modernist sensibility and New England Colonial. From the outside this home is an unassuming Colonial set well back from the street. This home has an incredibly flexible plan. Good design allows for a three bedrooms and three full baths with kitchen and dining rooms, living room and family room. However, some may trade the family room for an opulent master suite with direct access to a private brick patio.
Wide open plan and glorious kitchen
Just off the entry foyer you are greeted by an inviting and highly functional kitchen and dining area. No expense has been spared. Recessed lights run the length of the room all set on dimmers for mood. Beautiful glass mosaic tiles accentuate the honed granite counter. The entire kitchen was designed and installed in 2004 including Dacor range, oven and microwave, Amana Fridge, Bosch dishwasher and Kohler sink and professional grade faucetry. The custom finished cabinets are one of a kind and add a friendly playfulness to the room.
A short flight of stairs up from the kitchen lead to a loft-like living area where your family can gather around the gorgeous fireplace with glass tiled surround. A short flight downstairs from the kitchen leads to a modern family room with bamboo flooring and sunshine pouring in from the glass doors leading out to the private brick patio. There is a full bath with exquisite marble and glass tiling, heated towel rack and an enormous glass enclosed shower. There is also a small laundry room with Bosch washer and dryer.
Designer bath - zen perfection
The upstairs bedrooms look out over the landscaped grounds and patio areas. There are three bedrooms upstairs and two more full baths in the original part of the home. Both bold, sophisticated baths are finished in stunning slate, marble and glass tile, Samuel Heath, Villeroy & Boch, Duravit and Hoesch.
There is 2 car parking off street, a new garden shed and a full basement for all storage needs. Located advantageously steps from two different T stations, Doyles & The Midway Café, The Emerald Necklace Park System and one of JP’s newest tot lots.
