Lovingly renovated by its talented owner/architect, this fantastic find is one of the best open-plan homes you'll discover by Marcus Garvey Park. Above you, ceilings soar to 10 feet; underfoot are handsome Oak wide planks; and everywhere you look there is smart, elegant, elevated style and design. The living/dining room is an open-flow entertaining great room graced by a dramatic, floor-to-ceiling wall of good looking - and practical -built-ins. (Try to find the hidden walk-in closet and the step-in office!) Gorgeous tree-line, garden views brighten this entire space, and bring it a special house-like quality. Graced by a lovely and leafy, private patio, this home enjoys the benefits of an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Morning coffees, evening wines, and al fresco meals amongst the trees and plants expand the entire space with peaceful, brightness and verdant cheer.

Overscaled and spa-inspired, the big, beautiful bathroom offers a step-in shower, impressive storage and fixtures, impressive tilework and an elevated style that elevates the vibe of this resplendent residence. The bedroom suite is masterful in scale and design. King-sized and peaceful, this bright abode offers more leafy patio peeks, wonderful built-ins, room for a sitting area, and a walk-in closet that will make your jaw drop.
