Designed by architect Marcel Friedes, this elegant brick and limestone home offers finely finished living space bathed in natural light. Beautifully renovated by the current owner with the help of designer Laurie Demetrio, this exceptional home has approximately 5,500 sqft of living space with five bedrooms, two home offices, three large outdoor spaces, and an attached 2.5-car garage. The main level is ideal for entertaining and family living. Highlights include a spacious living room, a dining room with 3-story atrium, a magnificent eat-in kitchen with newer top-quality appliances (SubZero, Miele, Gaggenau & Fisher Paykel), breakfast bar seating and a banquette, and a sun-filled family room with 14-foot ceiling. The second level includes three bedrooms, two full baths, an office, and a laundry room with new LG washer/dryer. A perfect retreat, the top level is home to the luxurious primary bedroom with new white spa bath, dual walk-ins designed by California Closets, and a glass-enclosed private office that opens out to a new synthetic rooftop deck with skyline view. With a rec/playroom with new easy-to-clean floor, mirrored gym, 5th bedroom, and bath, the lower level provides bonus living space for exercise, play and guests. The Italian stone courtyard off the family room and the partially tented deck above the garage offer ample outdoor space for entertaining and al fresco dining. The 2.5 car garage is attached to the home with a mudroom. Other features include a fenced front yard, security gate that dials your mobile phone to buzz in guests, wide-board oak floors, a contemporary staircase, and skylights. This home is located on one of Old Town's most coveted blocks.
