Could there be a small city estate that gives you the glamour of a Monument Avenue home while enjoying 4 garages, large landscaped and harscaped grounds, and a gorgeous Gunite swimming pool? 3319 Monument Avenue was built in 1947, reimagined in 2005 (modernized in all the best ways), and fine-tuned into the beauty it is today by the current owners. The first floor is a wonderful mix of spacious and cozy rooms that wrap around several wonderful porches, patios and poolside retreat areas. The home allows for large gatherings or a peaceful existence in the middle of a thriving city. Pass through the front walled parterre boxwood garden and you are greeted by a sweeping staircase in the marble and columned foyer. Formal rooms including a library, dining room, and living room fan out and have fireplaces, tasteful mouldings, large windows and French doors to your outside haven. The kitchen has been up-modeled with quartzite, Monogram appliances, custom cabinetry, and the ‘scullery’ of your dreams- a wonderful space for caterers or cooks with an extra dishwasher, wine cave, and all the storage you can imagine! Both the morning room and the dining room open through glass doors on to a covered outdoor dining area. A family room with French doors completes the first floor. Upstairs you will find a spacious primary suite with a dressing room, large walk-in closet, and an elegant bath centered on the soaking tub and a crystal chandelier. There are three additional bedrooms with new designer and antique lighting, with either ensuite or hall bath access. The basement has five rooms and a full bath and can be used in a myriad of ways. The completely walled peaceful and private rear garden is one of the finest spaces in the neighborhood featuring a stunning grey-blue Gunite pool, outdoor fireplace, covered dining patio and nooks for reading, coffee and enjoying every season. The space is anchored by TWO 2-car garages and your own home gym. Come join the fun Historic Monument Avenue community while enjoying this fine city home.
