Originally built in 1929, this stunning Alameda English has been carefully updated to create an elegant balance between the home’s original period details and new sought after modern updates. As you approach the home you immediately notice the scale of the yard which is broad and beyond the average northeast home’s width and scale. Stunning grounds coupled with a new etched concrete approach lead you to the home’s classic front door and new porch. Entering the main floor you find yourself in a sunken entry, indicative of English homes from this era and perfectly scaled to allow easy access into the home’s more grand foyer. An expansive living room featuring oak hardwoods, a gorgeous custom fireplace and large leaded glass windows anchor the southwest wing of the main floor while the home’s formal dining room clad in stunning period millwork and oak hardwoods balances the northwest wing. From the dining room you enter the remodeled kitchen which features new flooring, updated hard surfaces, classic white cabinetry and a picture perfect nook with schoolhouse lighting. Just off the nook is a mudroom space with dutch door and the perfect storage alcove. Moving south you will find the home’s gorgeous main floor bathroom and large adjacent bedroom with french doors and a direct perspective of the backyard patio. Moving upstairs you can’t help but swoon at the custom balustrade and newel post which reflect the home’s English heritage. A light filled hallway gives access to a second full bathroom which has been remodeled with classic period tiling and fixtures. Moving beyond the bathroom you find yourself in the incredible master bedroom which has an abundance of room to unwind and countless opportunities to grow the functional space. On the opposite side of the second floor is a second large bedroom with gorgeous hardwoods, designer colors and ample storage. With over 700 square feet across the second floor and more than 1150 on the main floor, the above grade square footage gracefully influences the stunning scale of the home at every elevation. This home doesn’t stop at these two floors however. A third lower level, with over 800 square feet boasts a fourth bedroom, third full bathroom, laundry area and gracious bonus room. Countless designer details at every turn are a testament to the homeowner’s careful stewardship and astute taste which is evident across all three floors. Moving beyond the interior of the home is the backyard which is not only notable for its size, but for its privacy. Established english laurel create a soft barrier to the east while home’s detached garage buffers the property to the north. A hardscape patio with gazebo is yet another update introduced by the current owner who has also ensured the established trees and vines grow and bloom at their best potential throughout the yard. Both inside and out, this four bedroom, 3 bath Alameda home embodies the English architectural movement which is nowhere more notable than on this stretch of 32nd Place just blocks to the schoolyard and Grant Park.
