Someone once said, it's not easy being green. That is not the case with this two-and-a-half story Cherokee Triangle stunner, where modern amenities blend seamlessly with the original characteristics of the Victorian era. Substantial renovations, preservation efforts, and thoughtful updates have been made from the initial purchase of this original duplex-style home, including the recent build of an internal staircase to provide easy access to the home's large basement. Please see attached documents for a full list of improvements. As you enter the home, you are greeted by the sweeping staircase with custom runners that meander all the way up to the third floor. The formal living room showcases the electric fireplace, and features the original leaded stained-glass and beautiful beveled windows you will find throughout the home- a cherished architectural feature for enthusiasts. Hand- painted wallpaper by a local artist mimics a pattern true to the circa 1897 Victorian style. Amish-made kitchen cabinetry in white oak with inset doors provides a modern backdrop against the 11- foot ceilings and custom millwork and door casings. With island seating, leathered quartzite countertops, and Café appliances- this kitchen has been transformed into an entertaining mecca. The dining room was part of the home's addition, with floor to ceiling windows and skylights and it is nestled alongside the charming screened-in porch. Both rooms provide clear views of the backyard, creating a true sense of both openness and privacy. A cozy den, laundry, two walk-in closets, and a full bathroom round off the first floor layout. Upstairs you are immediately drawn into the light-filled primary suite where its sizable bedroom is open to the grandiose bathroom with a soaker tub positioned perfectly in front of the home's second fireplace surround, flanked by two windows. The custom double vanity, walk-in shower, and water closet provide spa-like spaciousness for a true oasis. A two-sided walk-in closet has been professionally outfitted, and offers more storage than most homes in the area. Another full bathroom and three additional bedrooms span the second floor hallway, with one bedroom showcasing a hidden hideaway that also serves as a closet. The third floor has been spray-foamed and transformed into an expansive playroom/family room and functions like a finished basement and adorns a half bathroom, making it a perfect guest quarters. Out back you will find a platform style deck, an easy to maintain yard, a basketball court, and a detached two-car garage with a finished space above. The square feet above the garage boasts a unique log-style aesthetic that has served as a yoga studio and home office. With Cherokee Park and Willow Park at your fingertips, it's easy being green in this Highlands home.
