When the Monti & Fox designer went house hunting for herself, she fell in love with this sweet English Cottage in Portland Heights. She promptly refinished the floors, painted every surface, rehung the beautiful original windows, replaced all the light fixtures, remodeled the main floor bathroom, and for the cherry on the top of this delightful sundae, remodeled the kitchen into the kitchen of her dreams. Leathered absolute black granite counters, custom cabinets and hood, hardwood floors matched to the originals and loads of storage. New Marvin windows (including a huge, west facing divided light window) light up the space on even the cloudiest day. An abundance of 1920s charm remains, along with a large and lovely deck for outdoor dining, a sunny front lawn and garden bordered by a classic wrought iron fence and a handy finished basement flex space, perfect for a family room, quiet office or guest room. Nestled in the quiet streets, green hills and impressive tree canopy of this venerable neighborhood, this delightful cottage is ready to welcome you home. [Home Energy Score = 1.
