This original 1922 home was restored throughout and provides casually elegant living spaces to be enjoyed whether just relaxing at home, hosting intimate gatherings or elaborate parties. This home has been lovingly enhanced during its current ownership while preserving its historic integrity. Some of the recent upgrades include a new 30-year roof, new exterior paint, new HVAC system, new water heaters with remote controls, ButterflyMX internet-based entry gates, new Miele dishwasher, wine fridge and ice maker in the wet bar, added Zip Hydrotap instant water (boiling, chilled, carbonated), and new Toto Neorest washlet toilets in two of the bathrooms. In addition, the attic dormers have been rebuilt with historically accurate hard redwood siding and the attic windows have been replaced with historically accurate replacements, including using historic glass in the windows. These are just some of the many upgrades completed by the current owner. There is a unique garage system to enable parking of the largest oversize vehicle and in addition, there is a lift system that creates parking for a third vehicle. The garage modification was completed with Historic Commission approval. This home even has a basement, which provides even more storage space! Treat yourself to a memorable experience and schedule a private showing of this estate property.
