This rare gem in the heart of Old Crestmoor is available for the first time in 25 years! Located on coveted Ivy Lane just off tree-lined Sixth Avenue Parkway, it has the perfect location and is rich in style, beauty, and history. The Spanish Mediterranean architecture with its stunning blue tile roof makes this one of Crestmoor’s most iconic homes, with five bedrooms and five baths in 4,647 square feet of refined and updated living space on a sprawling 12,300 square foot, sunny, southwestern lot. The home opens into a spectacular grand living room with vaulted ceilings supported by large hand-carved beams, featuring a charming Juliet balcony and huge picture window that lights up the pretty interior archways, wrought iron gates, railings, and vintage tile finishes. The warm, Spanish-style kitchen is the heart of the home for gourmet cooking and socializing, with top-of-the-line appliances, a large island, and serpentine countertops. The kitchen opens beautifully into the bright family room, and together they flow through French doors out to an extensive flagstone patio and cozy backyard with handsome stucco and tile landscaping, featuring a tranquil fountain and gas fire pit seating area at the other. It’s the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or family time, with warm accent lighting. Upstairs there are four large bedrooms, two with en suite baths. The primary bedroom has windows on three sides and a beautiful private balcony. There is an expansive, finished basement with a fifth bedroom and en suite bath and two large living and play areas. A rare three-car garage for a historic home adds to the appeal. This residence exudes classic charm with its original craftsmanship, vintage architectural details, and series of thoughtful updates that have elevated its modern functionality. And the great location in Old Crestmoor offers a priority position for expedited membership in the exclusive Crestmoor Swim and Tennis Club.
