Perfectly blending classic craftsman charm with contemporary upgrades and style, this 1923 home offers comfortable and elegant living in sought after Palisades/Kent. A complete renovation in 2005 added a primary bedroom and en suite bath, an expanded gourmet kitchen, a first floor powder room and a second living room. New kitchen cabinets, a natural quartzite counter, and stunning marble herringbone backsplash among many other beautiful and practical improvements were part of the most recent renovation in 2023. Upon entering the home, you will see all the main level rooms, all well proportioned and well defined but seamlessly flowing together. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite provides a private treetop view in addition to three more bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level with a large recreation room, custom storage, laundry area, an in-law suite and full bathroom gives the homeowners plenty of space for play areas for children and sleepovers. The home's mature trees create privacy and, along with the double terrace and the professionally landscaped perennial garden, the flagstone patio offers more space to entertain. A three-car parking area adds to the ease of living in an area within walking distance to critically acclaimed restaurants and close to the Palisades Hub, home to the Community Preschool in addition to offering numerous neighborhood activities. This home has been lovingly renovated and maintained in its century-old lifetime, through mindful and tasteful upgrades that respected its craftsman origins. A truly special home!
