Perched elegantly along the 11th fairway of the Hope Valley Golf Course, this premier home offers exceptional views from its front porch, dining, and living rooms. Originally built in 1928, the residence underwent meticulous expansion in 1992 under the design expertise of Rodney Ward, incorporating extensive custom cabinetry, moldings, built-in shelving, and ash flooring in the remodeled areas. Four fireplaces grace the home, including two custom sandstone fireplaces crafted by sculptor Robert Milhay in his younger years, who later became the artist in residence at the Washington National Cathedral. The library fireplace boasts Dutch tile, while the living room showcases attractive marble. The preservation of original doors with their vintage hardware reflects the care and attention to detail lavished upon this property. Multiple windows on the first floor are constructed from HGP tempered Architectural Glass, providing both safety and insulation.The chef's kitchen underwent a modern update in 2022, featuring Italian marble countertops, a new sink with instant hot water, dishwasher, Perrin & Rowe faucets at both the sink and the butler's area, and a new beverage refrigerator which seamlessly blends nicely with the existing top-of-the-line appliances including a Sub-Zero fridge and a Six Burner Viking Range.The primary bedroom on the main floor features an exquisite bath with Dornbracht faucets and Sergio Pedestal Sinks, complemented by attractive mirror glass medicine cabinets. The two walk-in attics and the basement storage, and workshop bench, make storage and projects a delight. The house roof was replaced in 2017 by Baker Roofing with CertainTeed 50-year shingles. Outdoor enthusiasts will swoon at the extensive custom slate adorning the front porch, screened porch, and back walkways, complemented by exterior lighting that illuminates the home's beautiful front exterior and two crepe myrtles.The meticulously maintained gardens offer the gardener creative opportunities to enjoy the perennial seasonal changes. The garage, featuring attic storage and solid wood doors from Lighthouse, exudes authentic charm, further enhanced by a Cape Cod Cupola. In 2023, the property underwent subdivision, resulting in a .33-acre buildable lot located at 3935 Plymouth Road, presenting an additional opportunity for those seeking to invest or develop this coveted lot. You will not be disappointed when you view this beautiful, well-loved home. |
