When the design and architectural worlds collide, the result is a harmonious blend of playful spaces and beautifully restored architectural elements. Any hint of the era’s stuffiness is countered with streamlined contemporary design. The open concept kitchen with Sub-Zero fridge and Italian veneer cabinetry blend beautifully with the original soapstone sink in the adjoining pantry. Open and inviting, the first floor can flow like the breeze or use the original pocket doors to create intimate spaces. The library, with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases opens graciously into the family room. Primary bedroom suite with french doors opening into the sitting room has superb potential as an en-suite bath. Full bath has been updated to maximize functionality and aesthetic - simply smart! The outdoor space is a modern oasis of low-maintenance perennial beds and mature flowering trees, all thoughtfully curated to create privacy and interest in every season. Truly a remarkable re-imagination!
