You can feel the spirit of the Bywater throughout this carefully renovated home - as beautiful & charming as it is comfy & inviting. Under soaring 12' ceilings, plentiful windows fill it with natural light, highlighting original hardwood floors, mantles and brick fireplaces. The floor plan respects the home's history while being remarkably modern, creating flexible, easy spaces to both enjoy a quiet cup of coffee and entertain large groups of friends & family. The main home holds 4 bedrooms, plus a large office that can accommodate guest overflow, and 3 bathrooms. The living space is bright & spacious, leading to a hallway with spectacular built-in storage. There's more storage in the huge laundry/workshop area off the hall. The kitchen is ideal for cooking meals of any size, with sleek Paperstone counters, old-growth cypress trim and custom cabinetry - like the mobile island designed to also be wheeled to the living space and used as a bar when hosting for neighborhood parades like Chewbaccus, Red Beans, Saint Anne. The kitchen & dining space opens through double doors to a spacious screened porch, perfect for outdoor eating & lounging. The serene primary suite also opens up to this fabulous porch. Thanks to the deep lot size, there's a shady backyard with irrigated, raised garden beds and a fantastic separate guest house, with living room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom.
