Custom Designed Classic Oakhurst Cottage! Privacy sets this home apart...Fully renovated with a second-story addition in the summer of 2024. With mature landscaping (Camellias that bloom all winter and anchored by a huge Japanese Maple), this home sits quietly above 3rd Avenue providing the perfect view to enjoy the neighborhood. It exudes good energy and 1920's charm, completely reimagined. Entering from the front porch you will find a warm Living Room featuring a Valor gas log fireplace set seamlessly into the classic brickwork. It can heat the entire home! Pass through the elegant Dining Room to the Kitchen, which lights up every morning catching the sunrise from the East. The Kitchen is made for entertaining, featuring a large island for serving and casual seating. The main level includes an ensuite Bedroom/ Guest with soaking tub, heated stone tile flooring, glass shower and custom closets. Also on the main level is a full hall bath and additional bedroom/ office / she-shed = (Current use!). New HVAC units (Main and Upper), New Tankless Water Heater, New flooring, All New Cabinetry, New Roof, Interior/Exterior paint throughout, New Jenn-Air Range, Miele DW, Viking MW, Wine Cooler. Second level Architecture details are highlighted by the Vaulted ceilings in Every Room! This creates unique light and space throughout. Heated tile floors give a true Spa-like feel for the Primary Master Bath that also includes a fully enclosed steam shower wrapped in natural stone tile, a soaking tub, double vanity, and incredible closet built-ins. Additional bedrooms with ensuite tub/shower and heated floors. The Upper level includes a spacious additional living room that is fantastic for movie nights. This area could also be easily converted to a 3rd Upper bedroom. Overall this is a 5 Bed / 5 Bath home. The Main house is a 4-bedroom, 4-full-bathroom home with a Private, flat, fully fenced backyard and a detached Carriage house over a two car Garage. The 1/1 Loft apartment features good living space, a nice size bedroom, a kitchenette and a full custom steam shower (yes, another steam shower!).
