What a transformation! Since 2008, the current owners of 1011 Thomas have thoughtfully and painstakingly remodeled and expanded this impressive 5 BR, 3.5 BA Craftsman bungalow while still retaining its original craftsmanship. Situated on a 50-foot wide lot, this move-in ready home features beautiful, high-end finishes with an attention to detail that's hard to find in today's market. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the rich millwork and character that defines the main level. The first-floor features original woodwork, a full-length, built-in mirror, coffered dining room ceiling and art glass windows. The designer kitchen is a showstopper boasting quarter-sawn white oak custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and professional-grade appliances including a Viking in-set refrigerator and 36-inch gas stove. A butler's pantry provides storage for small appliances and works well as a coffee bar. A peninsula with seating for three is ideal for informal meals or finishing homework. The kitchen is open to a family room, providing the open concept space that works so well for everyday living and entertaining family and friends. Two first-floor bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and a renovated full bath featuring a custom cherry vanity, Carrara marble countertop, nickel fixtures and classic hex-tile floor round out the main level. The second floor, previously an unfinished attic with the exception of one room, was transformed and expanded with two dormers. Now you'll find three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a separate laundry room. The primary suite features bamboo floors, double closets and a luxurious primary bath. Designed with both comfort and style in mind, the spa-like primary bath showcases a large walk-in shower with built-in bench and rainfall showerhead, an oversized soaking tub, custom floating vanity and heated floors. Downstairs, the unfinished basement with half bath offers abundant storage and could be finished off for even more living space. Noteworthy improvements: Pella windows on second floor; zoned central AC and heat; water service line to the street; 200-amp service panel; Hardie Board siding on dormers; garage roof '20; 75-gallon water heater '19. The home's exterior was thoughtfully refreshed this summer. Stucco work (including complete re-coat) was done by Forest Park Stucco and the trim was painted in classic Arts & Craft colors. In the backyard, you'll find a two-car garage, a patio for dining alfresco, perennials and plenty of green space for playtime. All this, ideally located near the Forest Park pool, pickle ball courts, soccer fields, Roos Rec Center, the blue Line, and I-290. Convenient to all the shops and restaurants in downtown FP and located on a friendly block known for its block parties and progressive dinners. Homes with this level of design and craftsmanship rarely hit the market. Schedule your private showing today!
