The BUTTERFLY BUNGALOW! Price REDUCED significantly below recent appraisal!!! A terrific blend of old and new has been seamlessly designed and executed to perfection. The existing 1940's bungalow was completely restored, transformed and updated, then transitions into a new structure completed in 2017. The new addition provides a fantastic great room flanked by glass doors opening to a very generous wrap-around screened porch with gas fireplace. The kitchen/dining room/living room combination lends well to comfortable entertaining, and boasts a large gathering island, walk-in wine cellar, a second gas fireplace, preparation counter & sink, large pantry/storage and even a concealed "dog house". This exquisitely unique home in Historic Laurel Park is situated on an oversized, very private lot with it's own personal entry to the covered parking off Cherry Lane. Fabulous landscaping with prolific butterfly garden! The master suite and sitting area commands the entire second floor and is complete with enormous fitted closets, extra storage, vaulted wood panel ceilings, and an open viewing deck among the trees. The charming original bungalow has a welcoming screened entry porch and is currently used as a den/office and second bedroom with large bath plus outdoor shower. The vaulted ceilings give a feeling of spaciousness and there is a special loft area with custom ladder. Laurel Park is located downtown near restaurants, theatres, shopping, bayfront and marina and has it's own pocket park & kayak launch
