Built in 1821, iconic Edgewood is known for its elegance, superior construction, architectural integrity, prominent location and rich history. The original portion of the home is all heart pine, braced with two story tall pegged and notched pine boards, with 8 to 10 inch exterior walls. Painstakingly restored and completely remodeled by noted architect Jim Barganier, the restoration preserved the Federal style architectural details and created dramatic spaces that are perfect for entertaining: entrance foyer was expanded into a 23 ft. tall atrium, a rear addition with stunning foyer, spiral staircase and living room overlooking rear yard through a wall of glass. The architect added a massive new foundation, removed all plaster walls to add new insulation/sheetrock, added a new 2nd story primary bedroom suite and MUCH more. Tall ceilings up and down, 8 fireplaces w/gas starters, and 10 ft. solid core interior doors. Just off the foyer to the left is a gorgeous library with huge pocket doors that operate in between the dining room. To the right of the entrance foyer is a remodeled kitchen and den (2020) and wonderful breakfast room, designed by architect Lee Sims. The fabulous den is open to the kitchen, which offers a large custom island w/breakfast bar, custom cabinetry, butler's pantry, double sided fireplace and high end stainless appliances. The second level features balconies that overlook the atrium and connect the upstairs bedrooms. The primary bedroom looks out at the rear gardens through floor to ceiling windows and has a wet bar, fireplace and luxurious bath with dressing area and walk in closets. 4 spacious guest bedrooms and 3 baths round out the second level along with an impressive outside porch, with inspiring views of Thomas Avenue. Stunning grounds with well fed irrigation, fully fenced backyard, English garden, terraces and multiple parking areas. Cedar shake roof(2016) with copper gutters and flashing. One of a kind home in pristine condition.
