Mr. and Mrs. Hunter were a sophisticated couple that not only purchased this large parcel in a great location in 1950, but they then commissioned a true craftsman, Carl Maginn, to build their family home. The design is elegant and timeless. The current Owners have been diligent stewards during their tenure of over 25 years in this special home.
The floor plan is perfect with three bedrooms, two baths, and a large family room. The formal entry opens to the grand formal living room with gorgeous double hung windows, detailed wood trim, an exquisite fireplace, and preserved original hardwood floors. The dining room is formal as well and features a built-in, work of art glass cabinet. The family room is quite spacious with its own fireplace and dining area that looks out over the large rear grounds. The newly remodeled kitchen has quartz counters, stainless appliances, gorgeous cabinetry, and opens via glass sliders to a covered loggia for outdoor entertaining with its own fireplace, flatscreen, and bar.
The central hall leads to each of the three large bedrooms and both baths. The primary suite enjoys a large bedroom and its own primary bath. In the central hall there is a drop-down ladder to the huge attic space for storage. The detached garage also has a large storage space above it via a drop-down ladder as well. There is also a wonderful home office that has been built onto the back of the garage with its own HVAC system. The 60 by 180 lot provides a huge, private rear yard. Just a few of the additional features include central air and heating, updated 200amp electrical panel, a new roof from 2022, and all just a short distance from Brand Park and Library.
