In 1989, renowned Architect, Richard Wieboldt and legendary Builder, John D. Clayborne remarkable talents created a work of art. Together, they magnificently renovated, expanded, and modernized this historic, strikingly beautiful, North Arlington Craftsman style home. The Craftsman style home without exception by far has become the preferred design of Luxury New Homes built today. This extraordinary home, however, offers the strength and permanency of being solid brick with stone appointments combined with the distinctive authentic Craftsman architecture on a private, massive, 25,402 square foot level lot. Like most masterpieces, homes like this are so appealing because they are so rarely available. Today's Craftsman homes are being built on much smaller, narrow, lots. This home affords you the best of both worlds! It is a wonderful like-new home on a large lot with gorgeous vistas everywhere. The spacious, huge, level lot, abounds with vantage points within and without the home. The expansive front and rear lawns are verdant green. The lovely rear garden is truly eye-catching. The mature evergreens and tall trees envelop you. This home offers so much for you, your family, and guests. You do not feel confined but liberated because the room to roam is right here! Tour the extensive grounds and breath in the fresh air, of your peaceful sanctuary. The enormous grey slate elevated patio compliments the red brick exterior and the slate walls offer privacy. Enjoy the sunshine or entertain guests with the built-in gas grill. All conveniently accessed through the tall French doors off the centrally located skylit informal dining area or from two different locations outside. The two-story-tall gourmet 21st-century kitchen streams natural light into it with a half wall balcony overlooking it. It was completely remodeled in 2019. The kitchen is brilliantly placed accessed from three different entrances that you must see to fully appreciate. The high ceilings and especially the cathedral ceiling in the family room, the tall casement windows bring nature's landscape inside. The half-circle casement bay off the family room provides panoramic views of the lush landscape and the slate patio. The brick family room fireplace, the classic Craftsman style open floor plan, the connecting hallways, arched entrances, the energy-efficient windows, individually and collectively, make this home welcoming and comfortable. The front stone covered entrance introduces you to a large living room with a stone fireplace opposite an elegant formal dining room. The living room hallway accesses a separate sunroom/office area which is accessed by twin French doors off the living room. The connecting hallway with marvelous hidden built-in, push-in, flush closet doors is opposite the powder room. This connecting hallway accesses the gourmet kitchen, casual and formal dining, and family rooms. Also, off this hallway is a private Master Bedroom Suite tucked away with high ceilings all on the main level. The upper level offers three stylish bedrooms and a large full bathroom. There is a half wall balcony off the upper-level hallway that overlooks the kitchen, casual dining, and family room. The lower level is finished with a full bathroom and walk-up stairs to the decorative driveway and a detached brick two-car garage with workbench. This home awaits the new owner that desires to enjoy the privacy and luxury of owning a home like this that takes you back to the priceless, irresistibly quiet, and peaceful era of the authentic Craftsman.
