Thorough and thoughtful renovations are balanced by contemporary design at this exceptionally spacious Braddock Heights Cape Cod. Many practical and convenient amenities meet modern household needs and make home maintenance a breeze.  

The home opens to a formal living room where the gas fireplace and imported Black Galaxy granite surround are a distinct centerpiece.  Firelight brings life to flecks of copper speckling the granite. 

Solid wood doors, with solid brass plates and crystal knobs, are true to the 1940s era Cape Cod build.  Oak flooring and crown molding add neutral color and a touch of historic charm throughout the main floor.  

The living room circles round to the dining room on the right and first floor living space to the left.  Past the dining room, a chef’s paradise awaits in the gourmet kitchen where professional grade culinary is possible at home.  

Entertain guests at the one-of-a-kind natural stone Golden Bordeaux granite topping the sizable center island with seating for four and featuring a prep sink, disposal, and cabinet space.  

Black Galaxy granite countertops with KraftMaid solid wood cabinets above and full-extension drawers, for easy access to kitchen utensils, form an ‘L’ around the island.  Kohler, KitchenAid, Kenmore Elite and InSinkErator appliances offer premium performance. A pantry and powder room are nearby.

The kitchen blends into casual living space in the family room with a second gas fireplace and Absolute Black Galaxy granite surround and bench, both in a river-wash finish.  French doors lead outside to a flagstone patio, fully fenced and adorned with Camellia japonica shrubs and a variety of blooms. The patio is graded for optimal water run-off and adjoins the oversized two car garage.  

Two bedrooms, one offering the option of an office, and a full bath, with period specific subway tile, chrome fixtures, and original refurbish tub, complete the main level. 

Upstairs, a spacious master suite beckons you to enjoy a sound night of sleep.  The tray ceiling adds dimension. Three walls of windows - one a set of French doors - accented by plantation shutters offer fantastic views and allow a lot or a little light into this space. Two exceptionally deep wall closets and a walk-in closet offer one hundred-plus square feet of storage.  

A luxurious master bath offers ultimate space to unwind with soft music from the in-wall Boston Acoustic speakers.  Soak in the heated jacuzzi tub or the enclosed standing shower, lined with Italian tile and featuring multiple Grohe adjustable jets, including a handheld sprayer, a bench seat, and a handrail.  Stylish Bianco Romano granite, with speckles of burgundy garnet, tops the vanity with American Standard his-and-hers sink basins.   

The fourth and fifth bedrooms, both with double deep closets and ceiling fans, are also on the second floor. A third full bath, with a refinished original claw foot tub and true-to-period fixtures, flooring, and tile, is between the two bedrooms.  Pull down attic storage and a laundry shoot are extra conveniences.   

The basement is as spacious as the main level and offers the potential for a sixth bedroom, an expansion of the half bath into a fourth full bath, and additional recreation space. 

The exterior has been upgraded with durable HardiePlank® siding.  All windows have been upgraded to Anderson 400 with pull down sashes for easy cleaning.  The two sets of exterior French doors are also Andersen. 

A two-stage water filtration system purifies drinking water.  A dual zone, high-efficiency HVAC and two gas hot water heaters allow temperature control and unlimited hot water.  A channel drain at the bottom of driveway and basement door, two extra-large sump pumps, plus an exterior French drain around the entire house, offer added layers of flood protection.

Two 200-AMP electric panels, plus a separate 65Amp sub panel for the generator, power the home.  The generator is natural gas with an auto switch in the case of an outage. A network wall is wired for all possible media configurations.
