The House
This elegant circa 1927 home has been thoroughly renovated with careful attention to detail and sensitive updates that offer modern conveniences while respecting the historic nature of this grand home.
Step through the front door with beveled glass windows into an extra-spacious great room, offering a grand space for entertaining with elegance. Here, the home's original fireplace (non-functioning) boasts its original Arts & Crafts style brick surround and mantel.
Window arrays, with a unique 9-over-one pane pattern original to the house, flood the great room with natural light. Through beautiful French doors, you will find more of these wonderful light-filled windows in the spacious formal dining room.
You will immediately note the luxurious, luminous floors! These are the home's original oak floors, and while many homes of this era feature darkly stained wood flooring, here, a bleaching process achieved an uplifting, light aesthetic with a softly glowing, satin polyurethane. The effect is bright, calming, and uplifting!
The incredible chef's kitchen was top-to-bottom newly installed! This custom kitchen sparkles with a white tile backsplash, a plethora of new custom cabinetry, unique quartz countertops, and elegantly appointed with a dual-fuel stove, wine fridge, and separate beverage fridge, and beautiful farmhouse sink.
Above the sink, as pair of handsome leaded, beveled antique glass windows have been added to the lower sashes of each window. The tile backsplash above the stove features our favorite thing EVER . . a built-in pot filler! YES!
A pretty bleached pine floor continues here, but laid on the diagonal to set it apart from the living/dining rooms.
But wait, there is more . . . and MUCH more!
When an original rear abutment was removed, it was replaced with a newly constructed rear 3-story wing, a much larger addition that offers the space for the first-floor half-bath, and the main-floor owners' suite that overlooks the backyard. The suite includes a new laundry room, a huge walk-in closet, and a GORGEOUS new designer bath, elegantly appointed with Carrera marble flooring, marble wall tiles, and marble vanity. WOW!
Upstairs, you'll find three (3) more beautiful bedrooms. The rear bedroom includes a wonderful sleeping porch/sunroom that overlooks the backyard and could be utilized as a dressing room, playroom, studio, or office.
The 2nd-story full bath features its original classic 1920’s black and white tile - in perfect condition despite its 40 years of history. The new, black, 30” marble-topped vanity perfectly complements the white tile and the original DEEP cast iron bathtub.
So. . . you might think that now you have seen the entire house. But another surprise awaits! Downstairs, an astounding new basement-level expanded living area turns this house from ordinary to extraordinary! Over 970 freshly finished square feet with three fully finished basement rooms expand your heated and cooled living space!
A large yet cozy media room at the bottom of the stairs leads to an intermediate bonus room. Storage? More living area? Office? . . . you decide!
This middle room opens to a HUGE walk-out recreation room where windows on three sides stream with natural daylight.
Each of the lower-level rooms offers glistening epoxy floors. An additional unfinished room houses the home's mechanicals. This fully rebuilt and expanded rear 3-story addition features a metal roof and is supported by an array of new helical piers.
The McCanless-Yost-Goodman home features the rectangular shape and hipped roof of the American Foursquare style with a central dormer.
The main roof is covered in its original terra cotta ceramic tile. The front porch with its metal roof, supported by impressive wooden piers, stretches across the facade to form a porte cochère over the circular drive.
The home itself is of all-brick construction, while the newly erected addition at the rear is brick and wood, supported below grade by new 40-foot helical piers. This 3-story addition sports a new metal roof. The home has undergone a complete rewire of the entire house, new plumbing, and new HVAC systems.
