This
vast 1925 Craftsman bungalow (three-four bedrooms, two baths) is located
in the historic Edgewood neighborhood. This is a grand bungalow with wide
open spaces, four fireplacaes, high ceilings, original fireplace tiles,
and that coveted center hallway. Added to that, the upstairs is an original
master suite, complete with heart of pine flooring and a bathroom on the
upper landing. Click here
to see the Merlin floorplan-it's a wonderfully large house, just under
2000 sq. ft. of living space.
Edgewood was just approved for a multi-million dollar development that will boast a Lowe's, Target, Publix, and many other businesses and residential living spaces. Click here to read more about Edgewood, including development plans. This neighborhood will be skyrocketing in value.
This renovation began with intensive structural work - rebuilding many floor joists, supporting the floors, re-supporting the roof, adding engineered LVL beams that span the entire upstairs, re-masoning the foundation, and creating a much tighter, stronger structure. We then added all new systems (including copper plumbing, electrical, and dual system HVAC), insulated the entire exterior, and roofed the house with 30-year black, architectural shingles. Once the backbone of the house was in great shape, we turned our attention to the details and finish work, which you can see on the tour below.
Virtual Tour:
| A large rocking chair front porch harkens back to a simpler time. You can imagine yourself sipping drinks and entertaining out here. The porch features original detailed Corinthian columns and Craftsman details, like this slag glass fixture. | |
|
We designed Arts & Crafts stained glass transoms based on an old pattern to grace the living room's triple bay window, the front door surround, and the front bedroom. All pieces match, with the door transom showing off the "1212" of the house numbers. Sidelights with the same themed glass finish the look. Local craftsmen made both the custom pine panels and the stained glass. |
|
|
As you enter the well-lit center hallway, you'll see the 100 year-old columns that beckon you into the living room. The living room features an antique oak mantel, a triple bay, and custom stained glass. It's a large gracious space that would entertain many folks for get-togethers or parties. |

This large room could serve as either a dining room or another bedroom. This room has a closet for use as a pantry or storage for placemats and other dining accessories. We designed and built bookshelves for displaying fine china or artwork. This room also features a fireplace with original antique tile and an antique oak mantel. |
|
|
This cozy kitchen features an oak floor, maple cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an antique farmhouse sink. Light from the solid fir backdoor splashes light into the kitchen. If you go through the backdoor, you'll be on the back deck, looking out into the large, fenced backyard. There is an actual peach tree right off the deck! |

|
This long expansive hallway joins the two parts of the house-it features an antique refurbished brass sconce, a fancy antique salvaged newel post and spindles. There is a great storage closet underneath the staircase. |
|
|
This large bedroom is on the left after you enter the home. Like the living room, it features the stained glass transom, large one-over-one windows, a fireplace with original tile, and an antique mantel. Click here for a third view of this room. |
|
| This large private bedroom is actually a master suite. This home boasts two master suites-one up and one down. This bedroom features an antique tiger oak mantel, an Italian marble fireplace tile, and a black cast iron fireplace surround. The antique brass chandelier is a rewired and refinished fixture from the 1920's, as are most of the light fixtures in the house. | |
| The downstairs bedroom opens up into an enormous bathroom tiled in creamy marble. The shower has marble going all the way to the ceiling to give a feeling of luxury. There is a restored antique medicine cabinet and period-style pedestal sink and faucet. Hidden behind bifold doors is a laundry room to support full-size washer and dryer. | |
| Up the gracious staircase is a full bathroom
also in marble and featuring our signature double shower heads. An
antique Craftsman window
has been installed high up in the shower
to ensure privacy, but allow you to look at the clouds as you luxuriate.
A pedestal sink
and antique medicine cabinet add warmth and class.
The upstairs master bedroom is huge! The end of the room has a set of high end wood double windows (Pozzi brand) and dual closets. We've added two skylights as well to flood the space with sunlight. There are endless possibilities for furniture arrangement and enough room for both a bedroom space and a sitting room space. |
