Come witness for yourself, as it might just possibly be the coolest house in the St. Johns neighborhood.
A perfect marriage of harmonic warmth meets meticulous bespoke updates, this house is what happens when creativity runs wild with a healthy wallop of fine craftsmanship.
It's love at first sight when you step through the stunning enclosed porch to tall ceilings, warm, airy spaces clad with golden wood floors. A line of sight draws your eye through the living area to the dining, to the editorial-worthy kitchen that echoes Scandinavian sensibilities with a hefty twist of modern currency. A certified wood stove brings the romance to the gathering.
Every detail here has been carefully considered to delight the senses while meeting the requirements of functionality.
There are two bedrooms on this main level, sporting super sexy wood-trimmed windows and astonishing wood inlay floors that harken back to when design was considered non-negotiable.
The full bathroom gives schoolhouse vibes, with vintage lighting and a clawfoot tub.
A custom open staircase delights, as you ascend to a third level bonus room with peaked ceilings and the perfect hideaway nook with a good book on a rainy day.
Outside feels like you've entered The Shire, with pockets for relaxation, leafy shadows dappling every surface, and a separate shop/studio for all your workplace retreats in a peaceful setting.
This home and its surrounds is pure magic: a drop-jaw experience that you may never become accustomed to, as you inherit the pride of place of the previous skilled owners, and make it your own.
