Modern luxury meets vintage sophistication in this beautiful 4 bed 3.1 bath all brick home built in 1893. Set on a 57.5 wide lot with a 37.5 perfectly landscaped side yard, a truly distinguished renovation for the discerning buyer, perfectly set on one of the most desirable blocks in Lakewood Balmoral. So many details went into designing, landscaping and renovating this historic home, making it stand apart from the others. As you approach, you will notice the new copper flashing and ornamental cornice, with copper gutters, downspouts and scuppers. Enter through the front porch and immediately discover some of the elegant details in the custom-designed railings and perfectly placed wood boards. Walk through the foyer into a large living room and take note of the intricate moldings, hardwood floors, vintage wood accents, bay windows and slate surround fireplace. Continue on through a separate dining room, perfect for entertaining, past a second marble surround fire place into the contemporary, luxurious chef's kitchen featuring new quartz counters with mitered edges, hi-end stainless steel appliances, radiant heated floors and a sun-drenched great room and pantry. Ascend either the perfectly maintained gorgeous front wood staircase to the second floor, or a secondary set leading directly from the kitchen, where you find a spacious primary bedroom featuring bay windows and another fireplace, a newly redone high end designer primary bathroom with steam shower and heated floors; as well as two generously sized bedrooms and another renovated bathroom. The sunny third floor makes for an ideal office or bedroom retreat. The immense finished lower level makes for a perfect family/ media area, has a full bathroom, large laundry room and closets galore. Find plenty of storage space throughout this level of the home, as well as front and rear private entries leading directly to the expansive back yard area. The architecturally designed side deck and blue stone patio flow seamlessly into the enormous side yard. This sanctuary-like lush garden is ideal for casual entertaining and is easy to maintain, with an underground sprinkler system throughout. Among the many perennials in the yard, there are Degroot Sprayer and Larche trees, as well as custom stone pavers and top of the line landscape lighting. In addition to the 2 car garage, there is a private dedicated parking space in front reconstructed of antique brick with an all-gravel substructure and industrial grade steel flashings. Also note complete new double pane windows, two new furnaces and new custom doors and hardware throughout. Steps from the fabulous retail shops and restaurants Andersonville has to offer as well as easy access to public transportation, Lake Shore Drive and the lake, this is an exceptional property.
