Every inch is thoughtfully pondered, no stone left unturned. The patience and time involved to finalize the vision is immeasurable, the only thing that matters is that the beauty of the vision is realized. A Cira 1922 Dutch Colonial... Gorgas Lane was a diamond in the rough. An original floor plan with a sad old layout, a useless kitchen, a decrepit detached garage, 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, a dark cold attic and unfinished basement... IT EXPLODED into a showpiece of 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, one half bathroom, an office/exercise room, an exquisite over the top impeccably designed finished attic with a full bath, a warm and cozy spacious basement with a full bath (adding an enormous amount of additional living space) and a chef's dream kitchen come true. Throughout this residence an appreciation for the endless custom details are evident from the moment you approach the front porch, appointed with European tile extending the full length of the house and elegant custom designer lighting that encircles the entire property. Enter through the front door designed and built by an artisan to the splendor of the grand foyer, soaked in natural light and warmth. Aware that certain features of this home should be maintained to preserve it's original character, the wainscotting on the foyer wall was carefully restored to its original grandeur, reminiscent of days gone by. Restored, refinished and newly stained, red oak hardwood floors add an elegance to the feel of the entire first and second floors. The entire interior of the property is totally NEW TO INCLUDE: the roof on the house and the garage (old roof removed), beams, walls (plaster walls replaced with dry wall), double pane insulated energy efficient windows in entire house, all entry doors, plumbing, 200 amp electrical service, all interior doors and hardware, dormers, attic reconstruction, renovated full bathrooms, renovated first floor half bath, gourmet kitchen, red oak hardwood floors restored, refinished and stained, mudroom addition with new stairway to the fully finished basement with a full bath, basement laundry, new concrete, 2 HVAC systems, gas heat, lighting interior and exterior, exterior fencing, new lawn and a fabulously designed detached 2 car garage.
