This masterfully crafted stone colonial located on a most desirable Penn Valley street exudes quality, with hard to replicate details of the past including deep window sills, intricate crown molding, gorgeous archways, and hardwood floors. Must-haves for today’s living are the upgraded kitchen and baths, and an expanded, renovated master suite. Another exceptional feature of this property is the 1953 family room addition designed by renowned local architect Vincent Kling. Enter the entry foyer from the arched-portico covered front door, and take in all the details that make this home so special. The foyer connects on the left to the expansive living room with wood-burning fireplace and bay window exiting to the covered flagstone porch, or on the right to a bright, cheery office with built-in white cabinetry, file drawers and shelves. Through the foyer arches, the hallway gives a glimpse of the back of the property while offering a good-sized closet, Italian Murano glass sconces, and a lovely powder room. Enter the large dining room with deep-silled windows plus a beautifully milled archway to a bonus alcove that exits to a bluestone patio. The dining room also accesses the large Vincent Kling family room addition which includes big, bright windows, a copper fireplace, an exposed stone wall, extensive built-ins and an outside entrance to the back yard. Step from the dining room to the slate-floored kitchen with white cabinetry including cabinet-front refrigerator and dishwasher, stainless steel corner sink, Bosch gas stove and built-in microwave, and leather-finished granite countertops. Step down to the breakfast room with Pella sliding doors containing built-in blinds to additional stone patio with gas grill and dedicated gas line, and continue from breakfast room to pantry, attached 2-car garage, and hallway to lower level and entry foyer. Upstairs is a large master suite with bay window and 2 walk-in closets with organization systems, and a huge Carrera marble master bath featuring steam shower, jetted tub and make-up vanity. The upstairs also contains a second en suite bedroom with large closet fashioned from former back stairs, two more sizeable bedrooms with ample closet space, a marble hall bath with steam shower, a hall combination linen/cedar closet, and pull-down stairs which accesses great storage in the big, unfinished attic. The lower level offers a finished flex space w/fireplace, sauna and laundry room, as well as a mechanical room with brand new central air, central heat and hot water heater.
