This home has been extensively updated and thoughtfully curated having undergone a series of high quality improvements designed to elevate both style and functionality. The interior was completely refreshed with the removal of dated ceilings and wall textures, followed by a full repaint throughout the home in a cohesive, sophisticated neutral palette that creates a bright, timeless aesthetic. Lighting was upgraded throughout with custom Italian designer fixtures, bringing an elevated architectural feel to each space. The home's interiors were further enhanced through custom interior design by Maxwell Grey Interiors, incorporating designer and custom furnishings that beautifully compliment the character of the home. The fireplace was remodeled to serve as refined focal point in the living space, while custom stair runners were added both for safety and to accentuate the home's elegant style. Comfort and functionality were also prioritized with the installation of new Milgard windows in the guest rooms, custom window drapery throughout the home, and a new Miele dishwasher in the kitchen. Outdoors, the property benefits from new landscaping including new and improved lighting / custom perimeter wood fence and gate / exterior lighting fixtures to better align with the interior modifications, creating a welcoming and polished first impression. For added peace of mind the home also features a whole home Generac generator, providing seamless backup power when needed. A new top of the line furnace was also added in 2024. The result is a beautifully updated residence that blends thoughtful design, modern upgrades and everyday livability. Hoyt Arboretum, Japanese Gardens, Washington Park Rose Gardens, NW 23rd retail and restaurants - all close! This is the ultimate in city living: private, considered, updated with intention + architecturally significant. [Home Energy Score = 3.
