Description

The rare opportunity to own one of the grand Queen Anne homes gracing this lovely tree-lined stretch of 48th St has arrived–and this one is a stunner. Its 3,400 square feet of well-used space brimming with gorgeous original details is split between two units, with a nicely sized single-level rental or intergenerational unit on the first floor and a truly magnificent bilevel three-bedroom home above. Both are accessed from the charming porch and vestibule with two sets of original multi-paned doors,...The rare opportunity to own one of the grand Queen Anne homes gracing this lovely tree-lined stretch of 48th St has arrived–and this one is a stunner. Its 3,400 square feet of well-used space brimming with gorgeous original details is split between two units, with a nicely sized single-level rental or intergenerational unit on the first floor and a truly magnificent bilevel three-bedroom home above. Both are accessed from the charming porch and vestibule with two sets of original multi-paned doors, unpainted wainscoting and terracotta picket tile. A grand staircase with curved banister leads to the main residence, which has original oak floors and oversized windows throughout. This breathtaking space with soaring ceilings has been transformed to create an open floorplan that has the airiness of a loft, but with architectural details that provide distinction between rooms and honor the historic character of the home. Details both old and new include a four-window bay, gas fireplace, custom built-ins, original corner china cabinet and custom window treatments. The kitchen is a dream: ample custom white Shaker-style cabinetry and a blue center island with seating are tied together by blue Bahia granite countertops and a striking slate blue herringbone backsplash, while touches of copper including the hood range, pot filler and pendant lighting bring a sophisticated warmth. Appliances include a stainless steel Kenmore French-door refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers, a five-burner drop-in Whirlpool range with Whirlpool wall oven below and toe-kick vacuum. A glass-paned door opens to a large low-maintenance composite deck that overlooks the home’s rear garden and a community garden beyond. There’s an adjacent full bath with marble basketweave floor, marble tub surround with dual-head shower, two-inch marble vanity and beadboard walls. Past an enormous hallway pantry and separate broom closet, the next level offers a primary bedroom with en-suite bath, two additional bedrooms and a half bath with custom live edge floating vanity, beadboard details and LG washer and dryer. The primary suite features a large bedroom with French doors to a balcony overlooking the treetops of 48th St, a massive walk-in closet with custom shelving, and a gas two-way fireplace shared with the bathroom. This luxury hotel-inspired space with heated marble basketweave floor and full-wall marble subway tile surround has a wide-open European shower, marble bench seat, separate soaking tub, storage vanity with two-inch marble top and basin sink, and stacked stone wall with fireplace, framed mirror TV and built-in storage. The other bedrooms are generously sized; one has two exposures, a Murphy bed and a wall of built-ins, while the other has a charming window nook with beadboard detail. The separate rental unit has two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath; a living/dining room with oversized window; a nicely appointed kitchen; and a mudroom with laundry that opens to the rear deck and garden. This true oasis with mature landscaping is also accessed from the street, so it can be shared between the units. The coveted Cedar Park location puts Baltimore Ave, Clark Park and two trolley lines at your fingertips.
