Beautifully reconstructed, redesigned, and expanded two-bedroom, one-bath contemporary cottage in lovely Poet’s Corner. With top quality construction and fine attention to detail, 1312 Bancroft is a designer showcase filled with surprises. From the striking hardware and lighting details to the custom cabinetry, shelving, and built-ins, the finishes have been well thought through. The kitchen is functional and fancy with quartz counters, Thor professional six-burner stove, Fisher Paykel side by side refrigerator, large single sink, pull-out faucet, artfully tiled backsplash, and custom wood shelves. Throughout the living areas are stylish wide plank hardwood floors, black framed windows, and smooth wall finishes. The front room wainscoting is refined, while the large family room is casual, opening to three fantastic outdoor spaces.
