Situated on 3 lots, this elegant 4400+sf South Hill home is overflowing with breathtaking bay views and upgrades throughout. Surrounded by gardens designed by a landscape architect, this home provides the perfect storybook setting. Built in 1907, this Craftsman home artfully preserves the turn-of-the-century traditional appeal with comfort features including a sun room, a brand new workshop, high-efficiency furnace, water-saving toilets, new wiring and plumbing, built-in speakers, and a yard wired for an invisible dog fence.
Have a special occasion? Allow your guests to drip in ambience when seated in the formal dining area, which can seat 12 comfortably. Illuminated by antique lighting fixtures and surrounded by graceful drapery, your guests will be raving. The sun room is next to the first of two decks. This sweet room is the perfect location to cozy up with a good cup of coffee, and gaze at the ferries coming to port, or sailboats enjoying the sunshine. The deck is inviting with see-through walls and faces some spectacular views of the bay and sunsets. The living space is large enough to enjoy the wood-burning fireplace as someone plays a tune on a baby grand piano!
Walking on the brick pathway, you immediately are immersed in your own story right out of a children's book. Walk inside the friendly front door, and you are greeted by a grand foyer, filled with light, maple floors, and an inviting introduction to the staircase, which is split at the top. On this main level, the kitchen is graced with maple floors, a casual dining area which could seat 8, a petite half-bath, and a charming computer nook. Elegant white corian countertops, double ovens, a trash compactor, and windows which look out onto the established, manicured garden, will make anyone feel right at home. Inside the kitchen is a back door which opens to your friends and family, or to an escape into the cottage-style garden filled with the sweet aroma of boxwood and lavender.
