Property Description

Imagine you're basking in the warm Tuscan sun, enjoying a fire-hot pizza from your custom-built wood-fired brick oven, while choosing the perfect vintage from your 500-bottle wine cooler... Imagine all you want, but you are actually in a slice-of-Italy on your new deck in the backyard of your Amberwood Mid Century ranch home. This unique 3,632 square foot home has Asian-influenced exterior features, original Roman-style brick, with a Craftsman-meets-chef's kitchen inside. If you want custom, the craftsmanship of the dining/family room & kitchen cabinets are enough to make anyone appreciate detail, storage & well thought out, functional design. This light-filled home has been meticulously maintained & updated. The home was pre-inspected & the entire (minimal but thorough) repair checklist has been completed. From a whole-house dehumidifier, new front & back custom-designed decks, newly terraced backyard, beeswax-buffed original oak hardwood floors, organic cork floors in the kitchen, original parquet oak entry-hall floors, huge skylights, to many of the home's original Mid Century features that are intentionally still in place. The home has entertainment woven into its design. The rear dining/family room with original cypress-paneling has three large sliding doors opening onto the huge back deck w/ cable-rail system. This room can easily hold 20 people to dine in, or become a cozy, warm family den to retreat into. This home has to be seen to understand all the possibilities for hosting & gathering large groups. The front gardens feature 4 productive fig trees, blueberry and rosemary bushes, & a grape-vine. The back yard is terraced, graveled, wooded & natural for a no-maintenance added bonus. The home is laid out very well, enabling each family member plenty of space. Several rooms in the home would be perfect for a home-office or flex-space. The 2-car garage has an automatic door, outside code box, windows, & direct access to the laundry room/mud room. Located w/in the historic Amberwood neighborhood, 2 walkable blocks to the Twin Lakes community swimming pool and 3 blocks away from Briarlake Forest Park, w/ hiking trails, and soon to be finished park-pavilion. Close to Oak Grove restaurants, the Northlake shopping district, and Toco Hill shopping center.
