Located in the desirable Cherokee Park neighborhood & built in 1928, this craftsman-bungalow style home w/ full guest suite, 2-car garage & 1-car carport, is a contributing structure to the Historic District. In 2020, the owners selected Ted Maines Interiors & Skolfield Homes to pursue a modern and meticulous renovation.

Wood floors, tall ceilings, statement light fixtures & extensive millwork are featured throughout the 2,631 living sf of the main home. Millwork in the family room includes the exquisite wood-burning fireplace surround, moldings & an artfully designed wide, wood-clad opening between the family room & adjacent kitchen & dining areas, which creates easy flow & flexible use between the spaces.

Conveniently tucked-away, off the kitchen is the laundry/mudroom area with front loading washer and dryer (2019). Old window seats in the dining room were transformed into a luxe banquette style dining space that comfortably accommodates a large group around the circular table positioned under the FLOS multi-pendant light fixture. At the back of the main house, the spacious family room & powder bath were updated to include custom tile, grasscloth wallpaper, dramatic ceiling beams & coordinated electronic shades. From the family room, French doors open to a sizeable, screened porch w/ composite decking suitable for lounging while someone else takes a dip in the heated pool or hot tub.
