Nestled in the heart of Lynwood Park, just a block from the 10-acre recreational space for which this sought-after neighborhood gets its name, this captivating Craftsman-style residence is truly a stand-out. This exceptional home is ideally situated on a large corner lot which affords it a rear-entry garage as well as private exterior access to the street-level apartment. Having no immediate neighbor on the north side of the property also results in an increased sense of privacy and allows for additional natural light to flood the home. A charming front porch with space for multiple gathering spots gracefully spans the front façade and is the perfect place to welcome guests or to enjoy an evening cocktail while watching the sunset. Step inside to find a large, light-filled living room as well as a separate office defined by a pair of 10-lite French doors which allow for privacy without sacrificing natural light and style. Recently refinished hardwood floors seamlessly connect the front of the house to the back where a renovated kitchen opens to a spacious family room punctuated by a whitewashed stone fireplace flanked by custom built-ins. The kitchen features quartzite countertops, arabesque tile backsplash, three years young stainless steel appliances including a gas range and built-in microwave and plenty of seating whether at the bar or in the large breakfast area. Double French doors open onto the back porch and make indoor/outdoor entertaining a breeze. If you like more formal entertaining, a separate dining room allows for just that but this flexible space can suit a variety of needs; such as a playroom like it is currently being used, as an additional sitting area/lounge or even an expanded butler’s pantry. A conveniently located laundry room with utility sink and expanded storage as well as powder room complete the main floor. Upstairs, retreat to the oversized primary suite featuring hardwood floors, a double tray ceiling, expansive custom closet, and spacious ensuite. Unlike most houses in Lynwood Park, in addition to the primary suite, this special home features three secondary bedrooms and two additional full bathrooms on the upper level. The unique features continue in the terrace level where you will find a true apartment that can be accessed from a private entrance on the side of the house and completely locked off from the two levels above. This beautiful, well-planned space includes a living space with full kitchen, true bedroom including a double window and a spacious walk-in closet, a full bathroom and a large foyer that can double as a home office. A private, fenced-in yard bordered with mature native landscaping and centered on a firepit patio adds yet another outdoor living space. Other not be missed features include blinds throughout, three new HVAC systems within the past three years, a one-year-old water heater, a new water line in 2021, and fresh paint inside and out. Just down the street Lynwood Park offers an array of engaging play and sports opportunities for all ages. An enclosed community center houses a gymnasium and multi-purpose community room while outside you’ll find two full-sized outdoor basketball courts; an artificial turf multi-purpose field; a playground including multiple slides, swings and climbing structures; multiple covered pavilions; a 5-lane lap pool and an impressive sprayground with splash pad. The park reflects the strong emphasis on community in the neighborhood which also boasts an active neighbor group which coordinates holiday parades, an annual Easter Egg hunt and closed streets for a fun, festive and safe Halloween.
