An artistic eye and a keen understanding of 1940s interior design are significant advantages when renovating a 1946 home. The elegance and sophistication of that era blended with the modern and functional styles of today create a delicate balance of texture, color, and space reflecting charm across the decades. The expertise of this restoration by the current owners creates harmony across these periods, perfectly integrating into the architecturally-diverse Watts-Hillandale neighborhood. The kitchen was expanded to create extra space for the generous quartz counter tops, new cabinets and appliances, modern lighting, and art deco backsplash tile. The wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed, allowing the spaces to transition under the large 1940s archway. The downstairs bedroom/office with new en suite bathroom are convenient for guests and family. The resurfaced original white oak floors set the tone for the house décor. New roof, 2 new HVAC systems, new ductwork, updated plumbing, electrical and water heater add to the integrity. The basement waterproofing and interior perimeter drain, sump pump and resurfaced concrete floor in large basement is perfect for storage, workshop, or further renovation for living space. Beautiful landscaping starts at the curb with carefully curated plants and runs through the property into the private back yard where a patio and screened porch face the afternoon sunsets. The attractive houses that surround the property are enhanced by large hardwood trees which create a canopy over the street and surrounding blocks. An environment that's ready to embrace.
