Approaching the hand-carved flagstone pathway, framed by lush landscaping, one is immediately transported into a storybook setting where old-world craftsmanship meets today's elegance.

Step inside, and you'll immediately sense the thoughtful design where every detail tells a story of craftsmanship and intention. - The two phases of reimagining this property include a 2002 complete renovation of the original structure's interiors and a 2009 addition which further enhanced the livability and function of the space. This is a home that comforts and welcomes and is designed to host and entertain on any scale. With the assistance of Steve Rugo Architects and Tom Stringer Design Partners, the creative homeowners brought themselves into the design through adding elements like eighteen century wood beams from Virginia and Tennessee, brick butler's pantry flooring and wide ebony baseboards.

Continuing through to the primary bathroom (actually, two bathrooms in one!) you will find opposing mahogany vanities, separated by individual water closets and a double walk-in shower with multiple sprays and plumbing fixtures by Rohl. A large soaking tub by Victoria & Albert and hand-cut limestone radiant heated flooring makes this room a hard one to leave. - While there are so many more details to share regarding the interiors, the exterior landscape design by Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects and the spaces to enjoy the precious warmer months must be mentioned. The family room, with a wall of windows and doors, sits below a treehouse like screened porch and opens to a flagstone-paved terrace stepping down into the lushly and naturally designed back gardens. Dining, grilling space and a fire pit area are what you first will see, but on those special occasions, the two-car heated garage opens on three sides to create an entertainment pavilion, and of course the homes audio system extends to this space as well. The professionally maintained gardens are equipped with irrigation, lighting and electrical connections for easy use and care. - Designed for those who appreciate both timeless elegance and modern luxury, this residence is more than a home - it's a masterpiece waiting to be experienced. A complete list of design, construction and home mechanical and automation elements will be provided during your private tour of the home.

Prepare to be amazed at the transformation of this neglected MCM Blietz home to a sparkling GREEN gem! We received the GOLD level energy-efficiency designation (top 7% of homes nationwide) from PEARL CERTIFICATION. Ask your agent to send you the details which they can access under Additional Information. The interior has been completely redesigned for modern living with fabulous natural light, and high end finishes. All the work was done with a focus on environmental sustainability, comfort, and safety. From Solar Panels on the roof to the Heat Pump HVAC and Water Heater, low-VOC paint and super-efficient spray foam insulation. Every fixture is certified Energy Star or Water Wise. The new windows are Low-E, double-glazed and energy efficient. You'll love the heated tile floors in the sunroom, kitchen, and primary bath during the colder months! The former one-car garage was converted into a wonderful covered patio that opens onto a bluestone terrace complete with firepit and spacious back yard - perfect for entertaining and games! There's also plenty of space for gardening. The yard gets all the sunshine that vegetables and fruits need to flourish. The back portion of the garage is a secure, heated storage room. The upstairs bedrooms have extra storage accessible under the eaves. Not yet completed: a brand new 2 car garage off of the alley in back, and low-maintenance native landscaping in front once the old driveway is removed. Of course the garage will have an EV charger! And the FRONT YARD? In progress is the installation of a waterwise, low-maintenance, wildlife, pollinator, and people friendly landscape. There's PLENTY of grass to mow in back - so the front will be a living fence providing privacy and screening from passersby. The early warm weather has allowed us to move-up the installation and we're hoping it continues!
