Description

Location, location, location!
Custom built by Larry Cafritz in 2008, this distinguished residence offers an exceptional expression of timeless design, understated luxury, and thoughtful livability. Five bedrooms, four full baths, one half bath, and an elevator serving all four levels create a home of remarkable versatility, where beautifully appointed spaces accommodate both gracious entertaining and the quiet pleasures of daily life.

Beyond the custom front door, high ceilings and eight-foot doors establish an elegant sense of scale. Wood floors, plantation shutters, tailored carpeting, and extensive custom millwork bring warmth and refinement to the interiors, while integrated surround sound enhances the atmosphere throughout.

At the heart of the home, a superbly appointed kitchen balances culinary performance with everyday ease. A Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigerator are complemented by double ovens, a warming drawer, two dishwashers, two refrigeration drawers, a wine refrigerator, a built-in microwave, and a double sink. A thoughtfully integrated desk workstation keeps daily essentials close at hand.

The dining room provides a gracious setting for celebrations and intimate dinners alike. Its dining table, ten chairs, and custom protective pads convey with the residence. Custom built-ins lend character and functionality to the family room, while French doors introduce a private office with shelving—a polished retreat for work, reading, or study.

With stone flooring, custom built-ins, and a beadboard ceiling accented by recessed lighting, the furnished sunroom is among the home’s most inviting spaces. A covered porch carries this architectural detail outdoors, pairing a beadboard ceiling with recessed lighting for an equally welcoming setting. The low-maintenance backyard allows more time for relaxation, while a magnolia, crape myrtle, and Knock Out roses contribute beauty and seasonal interest to the front landscape.

The primary suite unfolds as a private sanctuary, with a gas fireplace, its own balcony, and a separate sitting area offering space for a quiet lounge, nursery, or personal office. Dual custom walk-in closets and an en suite bath with dual vanities complete the retreat. Additional bedrooms include rooms connected by a shared connecting bath, while an upper-level loft offers another comfortable place to gather or unwind. Laundry is conveniently situated on the third floor near the bedrooms.

The lower level extends the home’s possibilities with a full bath and an additional kitchen featuring granite countertops, cork flooring, a microwave, and a refrigerator. Well suited to extended visits and multigenerational living, this level offers welcome flexibility within the home’s four-floor elevator access. A cedar closet and abundant storage on every floor underscore the attention given to everyday comfort.
Two gas fireplaces, three-zone HVAC, a mudroom with custom built-ins and an additional refrigerator, and newly carpeted stairs further enhance the residence. Sunroom furnishings, televisions, and a new freezer convey.
From its enduring architectural details to the ease of movement between all four levels, this exceptional Cafritz-built home brings elegance and practicality into beautiful balance—a residence designed to be enjoyed fully and lived in beautifully.
