Craftsman

Fully updated for modern family living, featuring bespoke design and thoughtfully curated spaces, this Franklin Park corner lot home is 7900SF on two finished levels with a non-traditional storage-only basement. Sophisticated finishes throughout include maple paneling in the grand hall entry, numerous skylights, and an upper hall open to the formal dining and entry areas below. The two intelligently laid-out levels provide a floor plan that aptly partitions the home with two stair halls, one for formal entertaining and the other for practical everyday living. Cathedral ceilings, expansive windows and skylights throughout allow for serene natural light that provides the feeling of bringing the outdoors in. The smart layout begins with a grand two-story entry foyer flowing into the great room with patio access and powder room, adjacent to the dining room with volume ceiling and skylights. The bright and comfortable family living area with sunroom, breakfast room, kitchen and family room offers bucolic views of the yard and garden terrace. The kitchen is generously outfitted with custom furniture grade Rutt cabinetry, oversized island with extra-thick leathered granite top, crisp-white quartz perimeter tops and backspash, as well as professional grade appliances and even a built-in water cooler. Two additional full sized refrigerators in both the bar area and garage round out all pantry needs. Brushed satin-gold accents and hardware unify the space, and windows bring the outdoors in. A unique rec-room with custom barn door covered storage, wet bar, and a fun ?lego? wall are adjacent to the kitchen and walnut paneled family room, lending easy access to both virtual learning and hands-on play. The casual mudroom area also offers a second laundry and a full bath, thereby providing excellent flexibility for au-pair or in-law living configurations, or even a future backyard pool. The upper level houses a master suite that offers a sitting room, walk-in closet with a built-in safe, plentiful sunlight and thoughtful cabinetry, as well as a spa-like bathroom with steam shower, dual vanities and soaker tub. The aesthetic of every hall and foyer have been meticulously curated, with no detail overlooked. Three of the secondary bedrooms include bathrooms with heated tile and loft levels for play, privacy or relaxation. One of the junior bedroom set?s stunning walk-in closet can easily be converted to a seventh bedroom. The guest area adds to the amenities with another bath, two bedrooms, cedar closet, all surrounding a bright exercise or family room area complete with built-ins; again, another space offering the flexibility for an ideal work-from-home space. The exterior has been planned with the utmost discernment, executed to provide a private backyard retreat which features a stone patio, shaded by a gorgeous garden trellis that shelters a hot tub, terrace swings, built-in grill, built-in smoker, outdoor dining area and custom stone gas fireplace. The rear yard is fully fenced, lit and irrigated, and is surrounded by beautiful flowering, mature plantings and strategically chosen and placed trees, as well as a fully-lit rear outdoor exercise area, as the lot extends almost twice the length of the visible yard. A quaint side garden offers a trampoline play area and another covered porch. See FULL VIDEO TOUR at https://vimeo.com/456367853 .
