In the early 2000’s C. and K. seriously considered moving from 1345 Brewster. They wanted more space, rooms that were sited to maximize amazing views, a primary suite and a chef’s kitchen that could host large events, yet after visiting many homes they realized they could not leave the stunning view & glorious setting at Brewster. They then decided to expand & extensively remodel their home, to incorporate the elements on their wish list. In 2003 the remodel and expansion were completed. They have loved their beautiful dream home for the last 20 years and now a new owner will be able to revel in the beauty of the setting. Perched on a hill in a lovely neighborhood, w/ extraordinary views, meandering pathways & a secret garden sanctuary, 1345 Brewster is the perfect combination of a more traditional mid-century home with a sleek, sophisticated & contemporary home. This dramatic 3 -bedroom, 2.5 -bath home is close to Arlington Park, Madera Elementary School* & public transit. The main level features an an exceptional chef’s kitchen, a formal dining rm w/ two sliding doors, opening to the deck, a den w/ a two-story ceiling, a liv rm & a powder room. The 2nd level has a grand primary bedroom w/ a spa-like en suite bath, 2 additional bedrooms, a hall ba & a study off the primary ste.
