Gorgeous Craftsman-inspired Morris-Day home available in highly sought-after Franklin Forest/Franklin Park. Designed as a new build by locally acclaimed architects Rob Morris and Dwight McNeil to meet the owners’ twin desires for family living and bringing the outdoors in, every detail has been thoughtfully planned from the banks of windows on every side of the house to custom toy closets. The heart of this three-level home is the south-west facing gourmet kitchen with eat-in island, two sinks, two dishwashers, and Wolf/SubZero/Bosch appliances. Twin sets of French doors in the dining room swing open to invite al fresco dining in the screened-in back porch. Enjoy uninterrupted views of mature trees in the fully wooded lot as you sit by the stone wood-burning fireplace in the family room. A lovely columned living room leads to a large private office with built-in desk, bookshelves, and filing cabinets. Upstairs features the 14’ cathedral ceiling master bedroom with walk-in closet and oversized limestone master shower, two large bedrooms with Jack and Jill bathroom, guest room with ensuite bathroom, and laundry room with sink and wall of wood cabinets. The sunlit recreation room with built-in entertainment center and surround sound speakers is the star of the walk out level side of the basement with large southern and western windows. A spacious fifth bedroom (currently used as an exercise room) with large windows on the daylight basement side, full bathroom, mudroom, and utility/storage room complete this level. Bespoke finishes typical in Morris-Day homes include extensive moulding and wainscoating, built-ins, pin and art lights. Oak flooring, 7’ solid wood doors, and high ceilings (ground - 9’; main - 10'; upstairs - 8 1/2’) were specified throughout all three levels. First floor stereo system extends into the screened-in porch. Inspired by the natural beauty of its surroundings, the home features 59 double-pane, over-sized Marvin windows. A 29' covered front porch with treetop views and the 17’ screened-in porch both feature Trex flooring and create an additional 478 sq feet of living space. The Carderock back patio, stairs, footpaths, and stone walls were designed by Gardenwise Landscaping. One of the few lots with no neighbor behind it, the property extends from Franklin Avenue to Virginia Avenue.
