This amazing New Orleans style home has had only one owner, the Architect that designed and over saw the building in 1978.The Owner and his Wife are now ready to downsize, now that the family is grown. When the Owner built this home he took special attention to details, made sure the home was built to last and was energy efficient. In 2013 they decided to remodel, upgrading the kitchen and bathroom areas. With the help of an Interior Designer, they found the lovely unique granite that is on the kitchen counter tops along with the coordinating back splash. The new 5 burner gas cook-top and double convection self-cleaning electric oven became part of the upgrade. The breakfast bar was given a granite counter top, lighting added inside for displaying glassware or collectables and under the top cabinets for extra lighting. The focal point in the great room is the large masonry fireplace, with a “Heat-A-Lator” insert that provides heat for most of the downstairs area. Most fireplaces today don’t have the built-up hearth that keeps the ashes off the lovely Hickory wood floors and has an exterior clean out. Built-ins at one end of the room for storage and French doors on the other gives this room so much character. Exposed wood in the ceiling also brings that special touch to the room. The master suite was remodeled 2013 and is one of the features the owners hate to leave behind. The Master bedroom is to the back of the suite with French doors that open onto the balcony that looks out onto the courtyard. Attic is floored with a walled room that is centrally heated /cooled. Don't forget about the game room/apt. as an added feature. Seller is leaving Wine Cooler as an added Bonus.
