Luxury + Fun unite in this down-to-the-studs reinvention of our favorite 1970's Observatory Park home. Renovations preserved the stunning rooflines and interior charm, while delivering an on-point floor plan for you to host life and friends on the daily. You should know this is one of the very best streets in the neighborhood with a dead end to the south and with access from just two middle streets. This quiet address is further enhanced by a recent Lifescape landscape overhaul that makes the setting serene and unforgettable. Imported European cabinets throughout, modern kitchen, built-in bar, huge island with custom shelves and beverage fridge, and a showcase dining room that is a focal point of this home is recessed under a large circular skylight. The main level study, vaulted ceilings, sensational architecture and multiple options for bedrooms and offices deliver the creativity and flexibility many new homes today are missing. Additionally, the custom storage room on the main level handles appliance overflow, lockers, medicine cabinet, wine storage or whatever you need at your fingertips. All new plumbing, electrical, duct work, insulation, drywall, windows, roof tankless water heater and more were completed in 2021. There are two outdoor spaces for multi purpose entertaining -- the front raised yard gives privacy and has huge sliding doors that open up to the main living room, and the intentionally crafted backyard with fire pit, partially covered patio, built-in bar and grill area has two additional entrances to the interior. In summary, this home's indoor-outdoor access and flow instantly slow you down, while still being in the heart of the city.
