A New Take on Historic Lowry Hill
Perched
gracefully on the hilltop, one block from Lake of the Isles, sits this
one-of-a-kind architectural gem. Transformed several years ago into a
sun-filled work of art, the free flowing nature of this charming house blends
the feel of southern France and the sophistication of an urban loft. The
soaring open spaces provide the ultimate entertaining atmosphere, while also
offering gallery-worthy display spaces for art and collectibles along with
bookshelves by cozy reading areas. We know you will love these welcoming, light
filled spaces, just waiting for a lucky new owner.
Upon entry you will marvel
at the extraordinary natural light in every room. Thoughtful window placement
and walls of functional French doors and casement windows give fresh air and
hilltop views from the living and dining rooms. The open, flowing style of the
contemporary spaces meld beautifully with the design elements of a traditional
home. Exposed trusses in the soaring ceilings suggest old world Europe, yet the
open floor plan allows one to view the living room fireplace from the kitchen .
. . a remarkable feat.
A noteworthy kitchen provides cheerful and efficient
food preparation next to a relaxed family dining area. A classic beverage and
service bar are conveniently located away from the kitchen work areas. The elegant sunlit dining room welcomes guests
and family alike in a generous open space convenient to the kitchen buffet and
dramatic balcony overlooks. For outside dining, the beautiful bluestone terrace
and leafy pergola border on a hand-forged fireplace for barbeque and cast-iron
pot cookery. The
generous master/bath/walk in closet suite has a cozy reading nook and a private
balcony with French doors for a morning coffee or afternoon sun. Don’t miss the
two secret closets for off-season storage.
A large sunny family room, currently used as a
painting studio, adjoins the charming second bedroom suite with its own private
terrace entrance.
