For Lovers of Craftsman Homes & Ocean Breezes. This home has been conscientiously restored, refined & improved over the past 13 years. The bones of this home afford high 9' first floor ceilings, open central living space & amazing closet space. The original woodwork was restored & embellished with new period crown, repurposed swinging kitchen door moved to the upstairs laundry & dining room built-ins converted to shadow boxes in the parlor. Pervious pavers encircle the property through the front walkway, 3 car driveway & back patio & pool. The 11K gallon saltwater freeform swimming pool and 8 person spa were designed to ensconce the firepit and be viewed from the kitchen in a dazzling display of fire & water. Currently set up as a 5 bedroom home, the layout is versatile & sun-drenched. Full advantage was taken of the natural gas supply in this historic neighborhood. The heater for the pool & spa, downstairs gas furnace, 36" 5 burner Fisher & Paykel double oven range, Rheem water heater, firepit and outdoor grill all utilize this efficient resource. The kitchen features a 4' x 4' picture window overlooking the pool area and expansive peninsula to entertain. Butcher block counters were stained to match the woodwork and epoxied for durability. Ikea cabinetry has multiple drawers and is led backlit. Currently set up as a guest room/den, the original first floor master features a private bath with shower and pool access. The original closet now houses HVAC and water heater. Accessible from the family room, the home has the original 'cigar porch' enclosed to create a small sunny room, currently used as a fifth bedroom, but lends itself as an ideal office or craft room. The French doors to this room retain all of the original hardware. The 6' x 7' solid wood pocket doors between the parlor & dining room glide with ease and lock with the original key, creating a private dining experience when desired. Throughout the home the original copper hinges & hardware gleam. Seven sets of handmade wood shutters were crafted for downstairs privacy. The master bedrooms stretches the width of the home at 20+ ft providing sitting & sleeping areas and has a large windowed closet with storage cubby. An immense walk-through closet provides additional access to the second bedroom. The second story 2nd & 3rd bedrooms were improved by converting south facing windows to doors & access to the addition of an expansive trex deck in the tree tops overlooking the pool. The deck was created using the newest techniques to create a waterproofed outdoor covered area to entertain by the pool beneath. Three LED ceiling fans were integrated for light & airflow and the beadboard ceiling was installed to reflect the original ceiling of the front porch. A true entertaining home with flourishes of architectural appeal, warmth & love, this grand lady beckons her new owners.
And the location! Five homes from A1A, the beach approach across the street invites you down for morning coffee or seaside sunbathing. Two new restaurants with oceanfront seating offer a short stroll to dining. The residential streets in this neighborhood are cordoned off during events and remain quiet, but are close by to join in the festivities! The movie theater, fine dining, shops & pier, with it's weekend fireworks and open air concerts at the bandshell, are a half mile walk down the beach. The international airport, shopping mall, and race track are five miles over the speedway bridge.
