Belle Sherman home blends Arts & Crafts/Craftsman design with Tudor Revival structural motifs. The exterior features architectural distinction of period details including brick masonry, stucco, decorative half-timbering accented with copper roofing over the bay windows, along with an attached two-car garage & attractive local stone walkways and hardscaping. Inside, the timeless elegance of the original millwork showcases a hammered-adzed wood texture, a carved entry arch, & a paneled vestibule. The home offers four bedrooms, two full baths, & a half bath, with a mix of hardwood, slate & ceramic tile flooring throughout. The large living room is centered on a wood-burning fireplace with a vintage Tudor-revival mantel & built-in shelving nook, and is filled with light from a large south-facing bay window; glass doors open to an expansive private screened patio & gardens beyond. A formal dining room includes built-in corner china cupboards, while the galley-style kitchen features an eat-in bay window dining cove and a service hall with a half bath & garden access. The multi-level floor plan creates a variety of private areas throughout the home. Period details remain in the hall bath, which retains its extraordinary original large format green glass tile, porcelain fixtures, & slate flooring. Two second-level bedrooms, each with exterior doors are set off a private hall. The upper level features the primary bedroom with its original multi-closet dressing room, along with another bedroom or office sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath. Descending to the lower level feels like stepping into the landscape itself, as a beautifully painted mountain scene unfolds along the stairway, guiding you from the upper floor to the landing and below where you will find a spacious rec room centered on another wood-burning fireplace and a wall of built-in bookcases, along with the laundry area. All windows have been replaced with period-appropriate energy-efficient units, and the home also features a new high-efficiency furnace and central air conditioning.
