They say that the kitchen is the heart of the home...and what a beautiful heart this home has! Lovingly and thoughtfully renovated, this exceptional 1927 Curtis Park Cape Cod style home blends the craftsmanship and architectural character of the era with the comfort and amenities we desire for modern living. Expanded from approximately 1,520 to 2,095 square feet (with permits) while maintaining a cohesive vintage aesthetic throughout. Rich hardwood floors run throughout the living spaces and the living room is filled with warmth and character, with coffered ceilings, crown mouldings, and a fireplace with gas log lighter. The formal dining room also offers crown mouldings and has illuminated built-in display cabinetry adding elegance and function. But the kitchen is truly the heart of this home and a rare example of vintage-inspired luxury design. Expanded from approximately 90 square feet to an impressive 340 square feet, the space was carefully crafted to feel authentic to the home's 1920's roots while offering exceptional modern function. Extensive 1-1/8'' soapstone countertops surround a massive soapstone island, custom inset door cabinetry, farmhouse sink, prep sink, baking counter, subway tile, pantry, and a paneled ceiling with classic Schoolhouse lighting. Premium appliances include a Wolf dual-fuel 6-burner range, Wolf baking oven, Wolf speed oven microwave, built-in ice maker and Sub-Zero 36'' refrigerator/freezer. Downstairs includes a spacious bedroom and a full hall bathroom, ideal for guests or flexible living. Upstairs, the primary suite is your own private retreat with built-in bedroom closets and a beautiful 1920's inspired bathroom with dual sinks, marble countertops, vintage tile flooring, large glass-enclosed shower, a clawfoot soaking tub and a walk in closet. Not to be outdone, the backyard is equally impressive, designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. The brick-lined patio provides generous gathering space surrounded by lush landscaping, a large grassy area, gazebo, espaliered apple trees, and a charming "extra space" cottage complete with HVAC. Additional features include an electric driveway gate and extensive system updates, including roof, electrical panel, wiring, and plumbing (all in 2021). Say yes to your inner chef and come home to modern vintage living in beautiful Curtis Park!
