An irreplaceable 1936 French Colonial Revival of exquisite craftsmanship with a wonderful floorplan set up for indoor outdoor living and entertaining. The home boasts a double wide lot which creates a grand street presence and orientates the home horizontally on the lot to maximize the expansive backyard. The exterior of the home exhibits many traditional French and Eclectic features; a shingle hip roof with clay tile ridges, wood sash windows and shutters, arched wood door surround, copper capped bay window, and extensive use of 6-lite French doors which open the home to the outdoor areas. Upon entering the home, you are drawn into a bright and spacious living room highlighted by a marble fireplace surrounded by built-in storage, bay window seat with beveled glass, detailed crown molding, custom milled wainscoting, a voluminous vaulted tongue and groove ceiling with skylights, and beautiful wood windows that view the yard. The kitchen is highlighted by custom stained white oak raised panel cabinets, upscale stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, pantry with custom storage accessories, built-in desk, and beautiful views of the yard from the sink bay window. Downstairs also includes a den that could be used as a downstairs master bedroom and a beautiful office with walls clad in original shiplap and three walls of windows offering amazing light and airflow.
