Property Description
Nestled in the desirable Lakeshore Historic District on the highly coveted Edgemere Court, this stunning brick and limestone home combines timeless elegance with modern updates. Just steps from the lake and Lee Street beach, this property seamlessly blends traditional charm with thoughtfully designed contemporary spaces. Original architectural features, such as arched doorways, intricate woodwork, and hardwood floors, are enhanced by a range of recent improvements. A custom marble fireplace mantle, recessed lighting, and tray ceilings add character, while seasonal lake views can be enjoyed from several rooms. Situated on a pristine 70 x 183 lot, the property boasts a spectacular in-ground heated swimming pool surrounded by professionally landscaped gardens. With four levels of finished living space, this home is perfect for both relaxation and entertainment. Upon entering, you are welcomed into an inviting foyer that leads to a sun-filled living room with expansive east-facing windows. The living room features a gas fireplace with a custom marble mantle, which separates it from the formal dining room. On the opposite side of the foyer is a spacious open-concept kitchen, a casual dining area, and a family room. The chef's kitchen is a true standout, showcasing high-end appliances including a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and wine fridge. The large island provides extra workspace and serves as a cozy spot for casual dining. The adjacent breakfast nook, with ample room for a large table, could also serve as additional family room space. The family room, which includes its own gas-start wood-burning fireplace, overlooks the beautifully landscaped backyard, complete with a luxurious in-ground pool, elegant hardscaping, and gardens. Double doors from the breakfast area lead out to a terrace and a staircase descending to the pool area. On the second floor, you will find an open landing leading to four bedrooms. The primary suite features two walk-in closets and a spacious bathroom equipped with a soaking tub, a separate steam shower, and a double vanity. The third floor provides even more living space, including a fifth bedroom, an updated full bath, and a large open area that can serve as a sixth bedroom, office, or playroom. The finished basement extends the home's possibilities with a recreation room, exercise room, laundry room, a full bath with a steam shower, and storage/utility rooms. The backyard and pool area are easily accessible from the mudroom, which leads to the detached garage. The fully heated garage is perfect for cold weather and offers additional storage. Above the garage, you will find a beautifully renovated coach house, ideal for use as a studio, office, or income-generating space. This charming apartment includes new mechanicals, a full kitchen, bathroom, new windows, paint, and carpeting. This fabulous home and property, with convenient access to the city, easy walking distance to transportation, shops, and restaurants, as well as being just steps away from the lakefront and Lee Street beach, presents a truly special opportunity
