This original 1940's postwar cottage received an extensive 2-year renovation, including an all-new second story addition, as a personal design project by local architect and neighbor Anderson Pearson. Original features include arched doorways, tongue & groove wall paneling, ornamental plaster ceilings, front door & hardware (including restored 1940's doorbell-chime), and old growth oak hardwood floors, freshly refinished. Enhanced features include: all new electrical wiring, dual HVAC systems for each floor controlled by Nest thermostats, double-pane insulated windows, marble tiled fireplace, two toned hand-painted kitchen cabinetry with quartz countertops, marble & porcelain tiled bathrooms, and white Carrara marble-topped vanities. A two-story open stair leads to the second-floor primary suite. The primary bedroom takes center stage featuring glass French doors that open to an open loft, great for a home office, or to take in a cozy read. A generous walk-in closet leads to a spa-inspired bath with freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities set against a reclaimed tongue & groove panel wall, with walk-in shower. (Shhh...and don't miss the architect's unique hidden door within the primary closet) Situated on a beautifully landscaped corner lot, the property features a convenient circular driveway on Windsor Drive. Enjoy private outdoor living in the backyard with plank and lattice fencing and mature landscaping-perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
