Renovated and styled with impeccable design, this property seamlessly maintains historic charm while opening the doors to modern-day living. A graceful Southern front porch welcomes friends and family alike and is the perfect spot to enjoy the scenic neighborhood reminiscent of a bygone era. A step inside to the formal living room reveals stunning details such as original mahogany wainscoting and pocket doors, as well as a grand fireplace with eye-catching green tile. Fit for any serious dinner party, the formal dining room adjoins an intimate library sitting room that serves as a bespoke passageway from old house to new. Completed in 2000, the masterfully constructed contemporary addition is the essence of comfortable, modern living. A chef's kitchen, complete with top of the line appliances, large center island, custom cabinetry, and bar area, opens into an inviting breakfast room and the light-filled great room. Aluminum-framed, Low E insulated glass windows pour natural light into this area of the home. Two powder rooms, as well as both a front and rear staircase, complete this level. The addition includes the second story primary suite with spacious closet, en suite bathroom with dual sinks, separate tub, and steam shower, and a private terrace with hot tub and fabulous views, especially at twilight. On this floor, you'll also find the laundry room, a guest suite with fireplace and full bath, two more bedrooms and another full bath, as well a cozy window seat nook where you'll love to get away and relax. The third floor boasts refinished heart pine floors, a media room, another bedroom, and a full bathroom. The basement features a large office/family room that would be ideal for working from home, a half bathroom, a workout area, and plenty of additional storage. The grounds of the home have been extensively landscaped and well-maintained. Leaving no stone unturned, the current owners salvaged limestone from this very yard to create a perfect outdoor patio with a gas line for your grill. There is a detached garage with 220 outlet for your car's charging station, as well as two driveways for additional parking. This home includes many additional state of the art features and customizations, including but not limited to recently replaced slate roofing, Cat 5 ethernet ports through the entire house, water distiller for chemical-free drinking water, and a whole house generator, to merely name a few.
