Built in an English Tudor Style, this house sits on a beautiful corner lot, surrounded by a well groomed garden, complete with pathways and statuary. The street is surprisingly quiet, considering it is only two blocks form a shopping mall. The main level of the house boasts four open living spaces, ideal for entertaining, or simply for enticing your prowess as an interior decorator. Entering from a large living room, a formal dining room opens to the right through a set of French doors, while at the other end the room opens to a winter garden room, exposed to the bright morning sun. A large fireplace invites relaxing in front of the crackling wood, while the beautiful hardwood floors throughout give a sense of openness. This set of rooms opens toward a large den. A triple window offers the undisturbed view of a luscious garden. This room is definitively where you want to spend your winter mornings, sipping coffee and reading the paper. But when spring finally rolls around, it is entirely likely that you will forego the intimacy of the interiors for the openness of the deck where the surrounding azaleas and dogwoods, on their annual fireworks, will show you what the South is all about. The den connects to a small breakfast area and to the kitchen, with all the appliances you expect in a modern set, including microwave and a refrigerator paneled to match the custom cabinets. The master bedroom is built for comfort with a dressing area, large closets, and private bathroom with a double vanity. You will find breathtaking architectural accents such as scrolling above the windows, columns, sculptures and a Venetian-style decorative fireplace. With fine European details, this house is a romantic’s dream. A well-lit staircase leads from the den down to the lower level where the second bath, all in granite and green marble, has a dual head shower-steam room capable of two people. A corridor leads to the second bedroom, which has a large walk-in closet, complete with a set of drawers, and a recessed TV-stereo center. A laundry closet, with full size washer and dryer, a utility room, a coat-closet and a storage closet complete this floor. Cable ready and set up with several phone lines and DSL connections, this house is Internet and media friendly. A state-of-the-art TV satellite system allows little oversight to modern lifestyle. A garage for two cars, complete with remote controls, and an exterior storage room for bicycles and gear makes this house an affluent and prestigious dwelling, ready for any event. The house has two additional apartments, so well screened, insulated and served by separate entrances, that you will never hear or notice other tenants. One month security deposit is required. |
