Description

Introducing a gem of Bella Vista hidden in plain view: 775 S 7th Street, a one-of-a-kind dream home. Nestled in the Meredith School Catchment, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home sits on a sought-after tree-lined street with bright sunlight sparkling throughout the home from the interior 3 story atrium, topped with a massive skylight. You enter the home through a secure exterior vestibule with a newer custom wrought iron door into the living room which features a functional and detailed wood-burning fireplace, newer bay windows, and classic oak hardwood floors. Moving toward the back of the open-concept first floor, you will find the living area giving way to the dining room. Looking up you will notice that this room is dramatically situated at the base of the large skylight atrium which extends like a column from the top down to the bottom of this stunning home. Continuing to the rear of this level, you will find the focal point of the first floor is the custom kitchen which is a true chef's dream come true showcasing many special and custom features: a built-in sub-zero extra wide fridge, restaurant-grade wok, Gaggenau steam/convection oven, Miele built-in microwave/convection oven combo, Blue Star gas stove, roll up appliance garage, coffee station with plumbing for an espresso machine, and an amazing wood burning pizza oven with proper venting to the exterior of the home. Come hungry(!)...this kitchen was built for the best home chef to create any type of meal or cuisine that their heart desires! To punctuate this excellent kitchen you can't miss the two years young double French doors that flow directly onto the back patio (perfect for dining al fresco or morning coffee), reclaimed oak wood kitchen floors (salvaged from an old dairy barn in Central PA) and concrete counters with integrated wood cutting surface. There are so many special details in this home -- even the decorative tiles in the entryway were carried back from Portugal and date back to the 1800s. The real entertainment highlight is in the finished basement which features an expansive 2,500-bottle temperature-controlled wine room, a wet bar, and plenty of space for a large cozy couch and TV watching with surround sound in the wall and ceiling speakers. Of special note, the transom in the basement called a Ranma in Japanese, dates back to the mid-1800s and was carried back from Japan. The antique reed sliding doors also in the basement were shipped from Tokyo and date back to the 1920s. The second floor features a generous primary bedroom with two large closets already equipped with custom built-in organization. From here, walk one of two ways through the sun-drenched atrium to the on-suite fully renovated bath which features dual sinks, a large inviting shower, neatly tucked away yet easily accessible laundry area, a linen closet, and other storage solutions mixed in. The remaining two bedrooms are on the third floor with vaulted ceilings in addition to a useful end cap flex space, a 2nd full bathroom, and lots of closet space. One bedroom on this level, currently being used as an artist's retreat, has interior windows that open to the atrium creating a unique and special environment. Other useful features to note for a city home: a fully renovated and updated half bath off the kitchen on the first floor, a coat closet inside the front door, a newer arched custom solid wood gate with a keypad to the back entrance of the patio from the street, custom red oak wood railings on the staircase and a newer roof. You will find so many special details in this urban oasis (see attached sheet for a full list of highlights). 775 South 7th Street is a singular home full of sunlight and vision, effortlessly providing thoughtful and unique features for entertainment and enjoyment, not to mention it is also a walkers paradise near the Italian Market, a slew of great restaurants & amenities. Do not miss the opportunity to make this home your haven for many years to come!
