The pairing of old world craftsmanship with newer construction and modern amenities is ALWAYS called a WIN! But when you find a home under a full shade canopy of trees on a lovely south Bonnie Brae block you'll know its the gem you've been holding out for. What makes this one special? Start with the charming French Country architecture with a tumbled brick and hand-troweled stucco exterior. A turreted entry that opens to a one of a kind circular mosaic floor. An expanse of Carlisle distressed old growth eastern white pine floors laid in wide and long planks with authentically exposed rough cut nail trim. A stately curved stairwell with wrought iron rails and custom tiled risers. Stylized beams along the ceilings and hand textured wall finishes that set the stage. Then consider the Thurston Designed Kitchen with double islands; one for work with a deep farm sink and another sit and sip island to connect friends and family while the cook...cooks! Add fawn colored cabinets, the fetching accent shelves, a commercial grade range, separate independently built-in refrigerator and freezer, beverage coolers in both the kitchen and the butler's pantry and you'll agree that this kitchen is not only gorgeous but oh so functional too. Then some delightful surprises: a reclaimed set of antique doors cleverly hiding hats and mittens, custom handmade tile accents, vaulted ceilings, gracious fireplaces, a west facing balcony off the owner's suite for sunsets, a classic mudroom with built-in cubbies, multiple home office spaces, an oversized garage for toys, and a decked out basement complete with guest space, play space, exercise space, storage space, music/art/extra office space and a wet bar to boot! And then...just to complete the package, out back you can properly distance under the shady covered porch off the family room, BBQ for the crew at an outdoor kitchen with bar seating, gather around the fire pit, or dine under the shelter of the pergola. SPECIAL INDEED!
