Exceptional design and attention to detail are the hallmarks of this surprising 1920 Dutch Colonial. The current owners, both artists, fell in love with the several magnificent shade trees on this property and transformed a classic Larchmont home into a collaborative masterpiece. A 2009 renovation that doubled the square footage to 2,830 was done with such thoughtfulness and expertise that it becomes difficult to separate old from new. The end result skillfully combines the charm of a 100 year-old farmhouse with the modern conveniences, amenities and efficiencies looked for in a premium Larchmont property. The house flows like new construction, but features countless period architectural details that have been lost to todays builders. Every room has its own unique character- all fits together seamlessly. The property has been delightfully landscaped by passionate gardeners. Sweeping beds of Van Gogh irises lead to the charming Dutch door, which opens to a central staircase. There are three distinctive fireplaces on the ground floor: In the family room, dining room and library. The oversized gourmet kitchen has professional appliances, an open floor plan to family and dining rooms, and French doors out to an expansive raised deck. The dining room has its own French doors to a second deck. Large windows in the master bedroom give prominence to the trunk of a 200 year old copper beech tree just outside. There are his and hers walk-ins and an additional shoe closet. The master bath includes dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms each have their own baths, and one has a fireplace and private deck. In the basement there is a two car garage, bonus room and art studio. The back yard is overflowing with summer entertaining possibilities, all beneath Chinese lanterns hanging from the beech tree. The wood deck steps down to a formal bluestone patio adjoining a cutting garden with trellised flowers. A separate koi pond features its own patio. Just two blocks from Murray Avenue School.
