Property Description

BURLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT! Meticulously renovated 5,100 sq. ft. South-facing brick and limestone home in the heart of the Southport Corridor that blends luxury, style, and functionality. Redesigned in 2020, and enhanced in 2023 & 2024 to seamlessly blend classic elegance with modern sophistication. Step inside to an extra wide interior anchored with walnut hardwood floors, custom coffered ceilings, paneled walls, designer sconces, and statement chandeliers. The sleek, high-end kitchen has an oversized island, Wolf six-burner cooktop and double oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a two-zone wine fridge with a built-in wine rack. FLOS lighting and quartz countertops elevate the space, which flows seamlessly into the sun-drenched family room featuring a brand-new Montigo 54" gas fireplace-one of four fireplaces throughout the home. The lux primary suite has its own outdoor Summer reading terrace, walk-in closets, gas fireplace, and a spa-like bathroom complete with heated floors, a steam shower, a soaking tub, and separate vanities. The other two bedrooms on the second floor are excellent size with organized closets. The third floor offers a bright office space with a south-facing walkout deck, full bath and a fourth bedroom with a private north-facing deck. The expansive lower level features high ceilings, an enormous recreation room enhanced with an oynx wet bar, a Sub-Zero wine fridge, and wood burning fireplace. Private outdoor spaces include a paver patio for grilling and a garage roof deck with a full pergola, perfect for al fresco dining. All outdoor terraces were recently built out with Ipe wood, planters, and lush greenery. The guest suite in the lower level has a redesigned bath and is perfect for in-laws, a home gym, or a live-in nanny. Just two blocks from everything the walkable Southport Corridor has to offer, including Whole Foods, Target, parks, Paulina Brown line, and top-rated schools.
