OUTSTANDING NORTH CITY COTTAGE

Yes, it’s that wonderful North City home with the eyebrow detail that gets everyone’s attention as they pass by. In a city rich with architectural styles, this remains a constant favorite with its singular detail inside and out. An exceptional six-panel front door with beveled glass casts sparkling rainbow beams on the diamond patterned wood floor. Up front, the sunny living room is centered around a glass-tiled gas fireplace set into an arched Art Deco niche with room for your flat screen.

Flanking the hearth two doors lead to a sun room hidden from view of the living room. A great playroom for the wee ones, an out of the way office, a peaceful spot for yoga and meditation – you choose. Centrally located, the huge dining room gets natural light from a wall of windows (think future French doors leading to the courtyard). So large you can extend the living room and still have ample room for family and friends to dine around a generous table. A hallway off the dining room leads to bedrooms and baths. En suite with a new bathroom dressed in vintage style, the master is at the back of the house. Great wall space allows several options for furniture placement and two large windows overlook a side yard. Down the hall the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms share another new bathroom with that classic design shared by the master. The kitchen is behind the dining room and owners recently completed its renovation while staying true to the era. Dove grey cabinets complement the new “ice” appliances but the star attraction is the period oven which combines form with function – it’s great! The back door opens to the utility room and then leads outside and over to the detached garage. Pavers and grass create the patterned side patio under those dining room windows. Screened from the street courtesy of a stately live oak, there have been some lively garden parties.
