Description

A distinguished showcase of historic craftsmanship, this property has been thoughtfully upgraded with an ADU in 2017, seamlessly integrating modern amenities while maintaining architectural harmony with the original structure. Step into a meticulously preserved 1909 Craftsman home, masterfully refurbished by renowned historical architect Martin Weil. This stunning residence effortlessly blends authentic period details with contemporary enhancements, offering an exceptional living experience. The main house boasts 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 2,761 sq. ft. of elegant space. Rich Douglas Fir built-ins, intricate wainscoting, classic molding, and restored period light fixtures preserve the home's original charm, while the impressive woodwork on the stairways and beams highlights its artisanal heritage. A striking Bacgelder fireplace anchors the living room, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.
