Property Description

Historic charm & character meet modern style & function directly across from Lake Cherokee on a 0.23-acre corner lot. 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. From the front walkway to the wrap-around porch, to the light infused, foyer & family room, your guests will appreciate the attention to detail & enjoy the direct lake views. 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. The kitchen highlights incude stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, gas range w/ vent hood, quartz countertops, wood ceiling detail, kitchen island & peninsula w/ ample storage & bar seating. 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. The primary suite, two alternate bedrooms & another full bath complete the upstairs. The primary suite features floor-to-ceiling drapes, 2 large Avia pendant lights, a private 2nd floor open patio, walk-in closet w/ organization & bath w/ large vanity & walk-in shower w/ glass enclosure. The property is zoned R2 & includes a full guest suite, which is located above the 728 SF detached & air-conditioned 2-car garage. The guest suite is 514 living SF composed of general living space, full kitchen, bedroom & bath. The garage was renovated in 2023 w/ epoxy flooring, composite moldings, new A/C, a 1/2 bath & mounted outside shower. This garage is almost twice the size of a standard garage and does not contribute to the 3,145 total living SF of the property. The added space could be used as a gym, cabana, workshop or simple storage. The property is privatized & secured by a handsome brick border wall w/ 2 coded gates. Hurricane shutters are organized & stored under the elevated screened porch for convenient access. Along w/ extensive cosmetic enhancements, major updates over the years, include 2 electrical panels (2010), 3 HVAC systems (2003/2015/2023), complete plumbing repipe (2017), tankless water heaters (2008/2009), historic window rehabilitation & Indow window inserts in various locations.
