Classic style
Hillcrest home offers unique features
The site upon which this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home rests was known as the “mule lot” — a place to keep work animals when not in use — around the turn of the century, when Lookout Road was built. The original home, built in the early 1900s, was completely remodeled and expanded in 1996.
Broad steps lead to the home’s mahogany front door, which opens to a gracious chandelier-lit foyer. The hardwood floor continues through much of the main level. French doors lead to the front parlor; this space is linked to the formal dining room by double pocket doors. An arched doorway leads from the foyer to the spacious living room, where the site-built fireplace is framed by a gorgeous stained-wood mantelpiece and overmantel. The space also has a bay window and built-in bookcases.
The tiled kitchen offers an abundance of cabinetry, a granite-topped island, solid-surface counters, tile backsplashes, a walk-in pantry, a double convection oven, a gas cooktop, a dishwasher, a trash compactor and more. Set apart from the workspace by the breakfast bar and an arched opening is a keeping room with space for both family dining and a sitting area. Just off this space is a mud room.
The guest suite is on the main level; the remaining bedrooms are upstairs. The oversized master bedroom is carpeted and has a sitting area, which has built-in bookshelves and opens to a covered balcony overlooking Allsopp Park. The luxurious tiled bath has his-and-hers vanities, a jetted soaking tub, a dual-head walk-in shower and hisand-hers closets. Linking the bath to the hallway is a study or nursery. The remaining two bedrooms are linked by a tiled bath that has two vanities and dressing tables, along with a tub/shower combination.
Other amenities include a powder room, a laundry room, a security system, a two-car garage, a privacy-fenced backyard, a deck, a water feature and more.
