Property Description
The outdoor experience alone places this property in a category of its own: a magazine-caliber rear yard anchored by a 14' x 28' heated pool, expansive travertine terraces, and mature, professionally landscaped grounds with integrated lighting and irrigation. A detached two-car garage and additional structures complete this unusually large and functional urban estate.
Inside, the home seamlessly blends historic character with modern luxury. A classic center-hall layout opens to gracious formal living and dining spaces, while the rear of the home is designed for everyday living and entertaining—featuring a sun-drenched family room, French doors to the deck, and a chef's kitchen equipped with GE Monogram appliance and custom finishes.
The upper levels deliver both scale and retreat. Four spacious bedrooms and renovated baths occupy the second floor, while the top-level owner's suite—constructed by Landis in 2014—serves as a true sanctuary, with vaulted ceilings, dramatic skylighting, exposed beams, and a spa-quality bath with heated floors, dual vanities, and an oversized walk-in shower.
The fully finished lower level functions as a private guest or in-law suite, complete with a bedroom, full bath, second kitchen, and dedicated living space.
Extensive capital improvements—including dual-zoned HVAC, underground drainage, and a 50-year slate roof—ensure turnkey ownership, while custom details such as plantation shutters and original stained glass preserve the home's architectural integrity.
A rare offering defined by land, light, and livability—properties of this caliber seldom come to market in Crestwood.
