Description:
Yes, it’s the very cool house with the Inukshuk sculpture on the corner of Kings Ferry and Washington always catching the eye of passersby. Presiding from a double lot, the exterior presents a classic facade with deep covered porch but step inside and discover a contemporary interior. Natural light streams in from all directions as your gaze is drawn out the glass doors to the deck and cultivated wildness in the garden.
Honey-hued floors complement the richness of the hand crafted wood detail. The open plan offers easy flow but it’s still easy to find a cozy corner to enjoy the fireplace on cool nights or tuck into a good book with a glass of wine close at hand. Gathering spaces are broken up in natural sections so you can choose your use as needed. A serene 1st floor master features a lovely European bathroom and private access to the deck.
Upstairs the “loft” and adjoining bedroom make up guest quarters served by the hall bath downstairs. If cooking is your passion you have come to the right place and even more so if you love entertaining. The irrepressibly cheerful kitchen offers very generous space to gather round as meals are prepared and memories made. An abundance of counterspace and cabinets keep everything organized within easy reach and yes, you get to cook with gas! A vintage 1930s card file is incorporated into the mix for a practical touch of whimsy.
Double glass doors open to the outdoor dining deck and a path leads to the “party” cabana. With a “kitchenette,” 3/4 bath and seating area in case the patio is already full, be warned you’ll fast become the favorite host. A previous owner built a wooden Japanese structure – it’s neat with a variety of potential uses.
Your location is excellent – the Blue Hen (a favorite for breakfast/lunch) is a block away as is Lake Maria Sanchez which points the way for the pleasant 4-block walk to the center of the city where cultural, culinary and historic treasures are waiting to be sampled. See you on the porch…
