Historic preservation at its finest. Set on a tree shaded corner, this classic Arts & Crafts bungalow exudes confidence and personality. You will immediately be struck by the quality of craftsmanship and materials utilized in this authentic restoration just a few blocks from the downtown square and prestigious Southwestern University.
The living room has an original fireplace and opens into a formal dining area, which would also work well as an extension of the living. The wide-open layout makes the most of the generous 4,000 square feet of well-designed space. To your right is a wonderful room that could be a study, music room or a bedroom as it has a closet and opens into a full bath.
As you walk forward a butler's pantry leads into one side of the kitchen or walk straight thru the main hall to the other side of this open kitchen/breakfast area. All open to the seamless addition of a family room with a fireplace complete with built-in bookcases on either side. A chef's kitchen is designed to keep the chef at the party! From the farmhouse sink, handcrafted ceramic tile backsplash, ceasar stone countertops to the awesome island you will love cooking and entertaining. Commercial grade appliances include 2 built in ovens, 6 burner gas stove, warming and microwave drawers, built in refrigerator and of course a wine fridge! A gallery area leads out to a private screened porch that is practically an all season room with our accommodating climate, a tranquil space to relax. The hall continues to the half bath and the garage entrance.
A true owners suite off a private hall on the main floor was meticulously considered and provides a private space with all the amenities. The en suite bath features separate vanities, a spacious walk-in shower and a fabulous tub to soak in. The double paned Kolbe & Kolbe windows with the original snowflake glass pattern gives an air of authenticity to the expected character you see throughout the home. There are 2 huge walk-in closets - one almost a room in itself!
The staircase, with treads and banisters milled from wood original to the home, lead to 2 bedrooms and a bath, a dormer window outfitted with twin size bed and a built in desk area! A door into a utility closet gives easy access to the HVAC equipment and additional storage.
Thoughtful consideration was given to the textures and finishes throughout - 2" wood blinds, shades and draperies that grace the original windows. Custom designed iron fence and gates alternate with brick posts and privacy wood fence to surround the professionally designed and installed landscape. Sprinkler system throughout yard and gardens with drip system makes watering easy and efficient.
The oversized attached garage includes built in storage and has its own special area with a tub for dog bathing! A detached 2 car garage has a separate entrance to the finished out office/gym area that is heated and cooled.
The exterior paint colors were selected to highlight the screens, trim, exposed rafter tails and beams under deep roof eaves, one of the more distinctive characteristics of the bungalow style. From the new foundation and foam insulation to the state of the art wiring from security and technology, to the added porches to exactly match the front posts - to the hunt for matching windows on the addition, no detail has been spared on the restoration of 1503 Ash.
