About 1338 Kater St

Distinctive architectural details, abundant natural light, and sought-after upgrades are showcased at every turn inside 1338-42 Kater St. This newer-construction 4,200 sq ft (including finished lower level) corner home offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a 2-car garage, an elevator, multiple Trex decks, entertaining spaces, a movie theater, hardwired speakers throughout, and dual-zone HVAC making it ideal for a discerning buyer looking to experience luxury living. A gated driveway welcomes you into the Kater Court private community, where 1338 stands prominently on the northwest end. You can enter the residence through the elevated front door or the rear 2-car garage with elevator access. Inside, the bright and open main level is framed by soaring ceilings and hardwood floors. The walls are lined with towering windows to create an airy feel, while a cozy fireplace anchors the space. Ascending the floating center staircase, you'll find an expansive dining room and kitchen that's sure to be the heart of the home. Fitted with high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, plenty of high-gloss white cabinetry, quartz counters, a tile backsplash, and a massive waterfall island with seating, this curated design mirrors the pages of an architectural magazine. A deck off the back is perfect for summer barbecues, plus the elevator is one stop from the garage for easy grocery unloading. More living space is found in the finished basement, where tall ceilings make it feel above ground. There's a large bonus room with a fireplace flanked by unique built-ins and a separate home theater with a dark, cinematic vibe. Up on the home's second level, two spacious sunlit bedrooms with hardwood floors, custom closets, and attached bathrooms sit on opposite ends. A conveniently placed laundry room is at the center. The third level hosts the hotel-like primary suite, boasting a walk-in closet, a balcony, and an attached full bathroom with a double vanity and multi-jet shower. A fourth bedroom and bathroom are off the hall. Topping off the home is another flex space with a wet bar and decks at the front and back. More useful than just a roof deck, you can enjoy this space year-round. Utilities include central a/c, forced gas heat, and a gas tankless water heat. In addition to everything inside, this fantastic location earns a near-perfect Walk Score of 99! Top restaurants, friendly shops, lively entertainment, and sprawling parks are all steps away.
