This property features:

Description: This is a dream house - a 1928 antique craftsman bungalow with genuinely unique architectural features updated with modernist designer talent. Two historians last owned this home and it shows, with every room lovingly restored or re-envisioned with tasteful elegance and respect for detail. Spectacular, never painted, wide oak woodwork, glass-doored oak built-ins, and two sets of original oak beveled glass double doors open the unusually-open first floor that includes a spacious and light-filled SW-facing formal DR with stunning arched window above glass-door built-ins and oak-paneled build-out, an open-plan 15'x21' LR that sports a working FPLC with unusual brickwork flanked by two West-facing windows, a stately Library with glass-door oak built-in bookshelves, and a cheery Sun Room with picture window. The charming designer kitchen (renovated in 2010 with antique cabinetry and cobalt blue mosaic tile) receives morning light from an East-facing garden window and opens to the South through a custom-built oak screen-door and energy-efficient storm door leading to a convenient grilling deck and entirely private raised patio. A half-bath with designer sink, antique mirror, and black ceramic tile flooring is conveniently located between back door and kitchen. A second stunning oak archway leads upstairs to a drop-jaw ceramic-tile designer modernist Bath with double rain-head shower, imported Grohe faucets and views South, a separate extra long and deep, tiled-in, Duravit tub, modern-style toilet, Italian designer sink, and double oak built-ins. The MBR is a whopping 15'x18' with his/her closets, its own set of built-ins, and one entire wall of openable arched windows fitted with original redwood screens looking out to mature trees in the front yard. Spacious BR2 also has his/her closets and windows facing South and West. BR3 has a near-walk-in closet and built-ins with windows facing East and North. A third set of oak built-ins, double-windows, and elegant original mission-style banister grace the upstairs hall. Original 8' wide baseboards and original oak floors up and down mark this craftsman with distinguished workmanship. Neither the oak woodwork or oak floors have ever been painted or even stained or treated, just the deep gleaming golden glow of the wood lights up this home with warmth and character. Deep 4'+ eaves, arch over front door, original saw-tooth exterior cedar shakes siding (professionally repainted in 2010), mature cedar bushes and trees, an attractive white-painted all-cedar privacy fence with custom-built arched gates surrounding a sunny South-facing backyard with raised patio and flower beds, as well as a 60+ year old rose bush clinging to a trellis that climbs an enclosed exterior chimney rounds out the cottage feel of this 1900-sf masterpiece of 20th-century design. Central air-conditioning, a 2-car garage, and close proximity to Westpoint Market and shopping in Montrose, converts antique to modern and convenient living. This home is move-in ready with gorgeously painted rooms that have never seen a strip of wallpaper. This is not a home to overlook in your search for spectacular architecture and design.
