A rare find, this home is an exquisite restoration from the foundation up by a multiple award-winning preservationist.Attention to detail is all though this graceful and charming, 1925 restored home. The 34, exquisitely, restored wood windows are hard to miss as are the well-appointed steel gates giving the rear property a privacy barrier and lots of class. From the front door entry, you will feel elegance and perfection in style and craftsmanship. State-of-the art conveniences include new, LG mini-split air conditioning, Thermador appliances with Carrera marble countertops, LG washer and dryer; Grohe vintage bathroom faucets, and Kohler toilets. The house has been completely re-wired (200 amp) and re-plumbed throughout. All exterior walls are insulated; interior walls and floors, including bathrooms, are soundproofed and spray foam in the roof rafters give a maximum low carbon foot print (June electric usage was $71) and minimal noise transmission. You'll feel like you are back in the 1920s walking into a brand new home but with all modern conveniences.This preservationist even replaced the crumbled fireplace hearth with authentic, encaustic, Cuban tile.Walk outside to the beautifully landscaped and irrigated rear lawn through the French doors onto a charming porch with scalloped rafter tails and finely appointed columns. No expense has been spared in this thorough restoration. Fantastic location, property is just blocks from the bay and social high life of downtown.Well worth showing, well worth seeing!
