Property Description

This special and gracious home is true turn-key perfection in the leafy and walkable neighborhood of AU Park. Scribe Development marries modern updates with a vintage vibe and original detailing. The location cannot be beat: walk to Pete's Apizza, Le Chat Noir, Matisse and so much more on the Wisconsin Avenue corridor -- and easy access (1 mile) to the Spring Valley Shopping Center and the sidewalk dining at Millie's, Pizzeria Paradiso and Wagshal's, Crate & Barrel, and more. Details abound in this thoughtful renovation with 4,200 sf of living space across four levels. Set nicely back from the street this classic has tons of curb appeal with a wide, welcoming front porch with a porch swing. Once inside the gracious foyer you notice the high ceilings, white oak hardwood floors, crown moldings, Circa lighting, and custom hand-crafted details. The abundance of large windows floods the interior with natural light. The flow of layout is ideal for how we live and work today -- the oversized formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace opens to the heart of the home: a light-filled dining room and gourmet kitchen any chef would love to cook in -- a large island with leathered granite countertops, custom-crafted wood cabinetry and high-end stainless steel appliances; a separate walk-in butler's pantry with floor to ceiling cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball luxe paint with brass accents is ideal for supreme organization and entertaining. The family room flows out to a delightful, large screened-in porch with high ceilings, shiplap detailing and a ceiling fan, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. There is also a delightful wallpapered powder room with polished nickel fixtures for guests. The second floor delivers a primary bedroom with custom herringbone floors, two closets and en suite full marble bath with double sinks; a full-size stackable washer/dryer in the hall; two more nicely sized bedrooms; and another full marble bath with double sinks; and pocket doors open to a bonus room -- use a a 6th BR or a Peloton/work-out space, nursery or an office. The airy and light-filled third floor with stunning sunset views offers another option for a private treetop primary suite with a sitting room, bedroom and full bath. The expansive walk-out lower level delivers a family room ideal for movie night; a large walk-in storage area (would make a great wine cellar); full bath; a nicely sized windowed bedroom with egress that is perfect for an au pair, in laws or guests; a laundry room with a built-in custom folding station; a custom mudroom with lockers, cubbies and storage that exits to the rear bluestone patio for dining and an ample fenced, grassy rear and side yards for pets, play and/or gardening. Space for 2-car tandem parking with an EV charger. Welcome Home!
