This 2,203 sq.ft. 3 BR, 3 BA traditional home sits on a large .15 acre corner lot in a quiet tree-lined neighborhood one block from Weddington Golf & Tennis and a short walk from high end retail shopping in the heart of Studio City. The front and side grounds feature a cottage garden, rose-covered archways, a winding tumbled blue stone path and covered porch. The backyard is a tropical paradise of meandering paths and patios, a rustic pergola covered in Kiwi and passion flowers and a gorgeous fountain flanking a tumbled blue stone patio. Constructed in 1936 as a two bedroom home with built-in alcoves, bookshelves and an archway, the owner enlarged and renovated in 2005 and remaining true to the original style, added a large master suite and walk-in closet, mahogany flooring and floorboards, crown molding, casement windows, custom wrought iron sconces and double French doors opening out onto the tropical yard. The adjoining master bath features a deep Jacuzzi tub, granite counters, marble floors, separate vanity, tiled shower, custom cabinetry, casement windows, crown molding and polished chrome fixtures. In 2005, the kitchen was also enlarged and completely reworked with custom granite counter-tops, marble flooring, a granite countered central island with a bar sink and seating areas, custom cabinetry, pull out pantry shelves, KitchenAid appliances, a Wolf range, and an alabaster lighting fixture over the island. The entry opens to the original living room with a high open-beamed ceiling with alcoves, fireplace and floor to ceiling picture window. The separate dining room also has a high ceiling, original alcoves and a floor to ceiling picture window. The den similarly has high ceilings, as well as crown molding, a second fire place, alabaster sconces, a separate second dining area and French double-doors looking out onto the lush backyard. Hardwood floors throughout except for the kitchen and bathrooms which all feature marble floors.
