9 Groves Avenue

Longtime owners breathed new life into their 1920 bungalow by maintaining the home’s original footprint by reconfiguring the existing first-floor footprint and adding a second story. The striking new dark siding and A-frame wood beams bring a modern twist to the home’s abundant curb appeal.

 

Inside, you are welcomed into the tastefully designed entryway and a fully reimagined layout to maximize every inch of the home’s main level. The gracious living room is chock full of storage solutions, you’d never guess that the family’s board games are hidden in the banquette seating. The new fireplace brings elegance and coziness at the same time. Throughout the home, bright colors adorn the walls from the eye-catching art pieces painted by a friend of the family. And speaking of creative outlets, don’t miss the previous main-level bedroom that is now a sewing room!

 

A large paneled glass wall partitions off the wide galley-style kitchen and allows natural light to spread throughout this level. The green custom cabinetry provides for plenty of storage space and lets the light-colored marble and hand-glazed tile shine. In the ceiling, 14 hidden speakers across the kitchen and living room bring new meaning to concept of “surround sound”!  

 

The gorgeous natural light continues upstairs with skylights in the stairwell and street facing office windows.  The renovated primary suite has a balcony overlooking the backyard and much of the neighborhood – what landmarks can you spot from up there?
