About this home

A HOME YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE TO APPRECIATE! This distinctive Westmont residence has Mediterranean architectural influences and the craftsmanship and character of a home they simply don't build anymore. From the moment you enter, the scale is impressive-gorgeous hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, substantial original woodwork, beautiful windows and gracious room sizes throughout. The main level features an impressive formal dining room, spacious living room with fireplace and an unusually spacious kitchen for a home of this era. Beautiful details are everywhere, from the grand sweeping staircase and rounded window to the original doors, moldings and gorgeous Swarovski crystal chandeliers. And another feature not often found in a home of this age -CENTRAL AIR! The current owners enclosed the side porch, creating two additional rooms and even more usable space. Outside, they added a beautiful brick-paver patio and paver retaining walls that complement the character of the property. And there's plenty of garage space with three spaces total-one integral garage plus a two-car detached garage. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two full baths, including the primary bath. The bathrooms have been updated over the years, with plumbing and wiring incorporated as part of those improvements. Hardwood flooring continues beneath carpeting in portions of the home, with carpeting recently removed in the primary bedroom to reveal the beautiful wood floors underneath. And there's still another level! The finished third floor is not included in the stated square footage and offers additional space for an office, studio, hobby room, playroom or whatever suits the next owner. But wait until you see what's hiding downstairs! The lower-level family room may be one of the most memorable rooms in the house, with a stone fireplace, rich woodwork, paneled/coffered ceiling, built-in seating and incredible character. The seller installed a Vermont Castings wood-burning insert along with a stainless-steel chimney liner. The basement also includes a half bath. One of the most substantial projects completed during the current ownership was the construction of an entirely new front porch with a concrete deck floor, along with a climate-controlled secured room constructed beneath it with direct access from the basement. This was a major undertaking and significant investment in the property, creating a distinctive new exterior feature as well as a unique and very usable space below. Among the other significant updates are replacement of the entire shingle roof and gutters (approximately 2011), plumbing and electrical improvements completed over the years, and a NEW LEAD-FREE MAIN WATERLINE from the shut-off valve to the house-an especially noteworthy infrastructure improvement. This is a home where photographs only begin to tell the story. Generous room sizes, beautiful craftsmanship, two fireplaces, incredible architectural details and usable space on multiple levels make this distinctive Westmont home something truly special. So much history. So much character. And so much more space than you expect!
