This is an incredible opportunity in the Highlands just steps from the Douglas Loop to complete what the sellers have started with this custom rebuild and expansion on a super unique lot. Located at the corner of Dundee Road and Woodbourne Avenue, this Cape Cod home was taken down to the studs, significantly expanded on the main level with an excavation on the north end of the lot and the second floor was opened up with dormers and a new roof line. All of this was done to maintain the original 1940s floor plan on the interior walls while expanding space through dormering the entire second floor and adding a two story addition that is in keeping with the style of the rest of the house. This rebuild perfectly incorporates modern design and functionality with a traditional 1940's home. The structure now features 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms with one of the bedrooms on the first floor. The main level features a new front porch, new custom front doors (not yet installed), a gorgeous wide-open great room, large kitchen space, a fireplace and potential hearth room, study/den, a first-floor bedroom and a full bath. The existing side porch faces south and has been preserved to retain the character of the home. The seller has new custom french doors for the side porch that are ready to install. The kitchen was also designed with a new exterior door positioned on the west-side of the home, intended to walk out onto a deck, the location and dimensions of the deck are included in the architectural plan and require no set-back variance from the city. The sellers also installed a custom stonewall on the west and north of the property. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms including a primary suite with primary bath, walk in closet, balcony, primary bath space and an adjacent charming reading or office area illuminated by 2 skylights. The south-facing bedroom has a stunning custom circular window The walk-out basement has 2 original living spaces that were previously used as a family room and office, storage space, laundry and mechanicals. The seller installed a geothermal systems as a part of the rebuild. Completed work includes new energy-efficient, double pane, aluminum clad windows throughout. The modern, stylish, oversized black windows were selected to match the original home's style and their placement was adjusted by the seller to maximize light and the view of the tree canopy while providing privacy from street views. A new roof and spray foam insulation were also completed already. There are a number of items that can be retained by the buyer with an acceptable offer including custom kitchen cabinetry, distressed marble kitchen subway tile, travertine tile, washer and dryer. Please ask for a list of items. This is a great candidate for a renovation loan and renovation loan information is available upon request.
