This beautifully situated Edwin Ivey Colonial is anchored atop one of the most celebrated streets in Washington Park. With signature trademarks intact, this home has been impeccably preserved while maintaining the integrity of the thoughtful 1923 design. Gracious light-filled rooms, fine millwork, refinished hardwood floors, and generous windows that perfectly frame the garden and ever-changing lake views.
With windows on three sides, indoor/outdoor living is brought to fruition in the living room, where the grand fireplace anchors the interior and French doors open to the secluded patio. Opposite the entry, the formal dining room is generous enough for a gathering of 14 or more.
In the kitchen stainless steel appliances and marble countertops are wrapped in softly patinaed cabinetry. The in-kitchen dining area invites casual meals while the extended sitting area offers another set of French doors to the garden.
Upstairs you'll find a dreamy owner's suite where a handsome fireplace serves as the focal point. With views toward the lake and garden, ample closet space, and generous room on either side of the bed—one for a pair of sitting chairs, the other for a desk—this sleeping haven truly is the ultimate reprieve.
In addition, the upper level offers three additional bedrooms, the most charming deck, and an additional full bath with beautifully preserved original green tile.
Back on the main floor, a series of French doors lead to expansive outdoor terraces surrounded by glorious mature plantings. These exquisitely designed outdoor living rooms offer a seamless extension for warmer weather gatherings, intimate or grand, casual and formal.
