A rare opportunity to own a beautifully and extensively renovated residence in the distinctive historic community of The Gardens of Guilford. This spacious, light-filled second-floor residence offers three bedrooms and two full baths and was extensively renovated in 2021 with a cohesive European-inspired elegance throughout, blending exceptional craftsmanship, natural materials, architectural character, and modern comfort. The expansive living room flows seamlessly into the generously sized dining area, creating an impressive open space for everyday living and entertaining. A striking fireplace framed in natural stone creates an elegant focal point, while abundant natural light and beautiful custom woodwork add warmth and character. One of the home's most exceptional features is the approximately 26-by-14 four-season family room, surrounded by beautiful custom natural-wood windows, designed for true year-round enjoyment, with Italian ceramic tile floors with heat and central A/C. Throughout the residence, natural wood flooring, custom wood doors and trim, and twenty-three custom wood windows, including distinctive arched architectural details, create a warm, inviting atmosphere with no carpeting and a strong connection to natural materials. The fully renovated eat-in kitchen continues the home's cohesive design with natural wood cabinetry, granite countertops, ceramic tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and excellent workspace. The spacious primary suite is complemented by a beautifully renovated en-suite bath featuring luxurious natural onyx on the floors and shower walls, a glass-enclosed shower, and elegant finishes. The second full bath is also fully updated with beautiful ceramic tile and thoughtfully selected fixtures. Additional conveniences include an in-unit washer-dryer, a new A/C system installed in 2021, a private garage, and a finished storage room on the lower level of the same building, with laminate flooring, painted walls, and shelving for clean, organized space. Adding to its distinction, The Gardens of Guilford was built in 1922 and designed by celebrated architect Clyde N. Friz, with Mediterranean and Italian Renaissance influences. This is a home designed not just to be admired, but truly enjoyed.
