Located in the heart of 15th and 15th, this charming craftsman completely remodeled in 2010 effectively a new build with the original brick facade maintained, merging modern build standards with original charm. Shelf basement was dug to give 9 feet height, new foundation was poured and new footings and double foundation walls connected. Stud walls were constructed moving away from the original double brick, and creating a better earthquake-secure home, and the brick was attached to the new studs. This foundation wall work, and main floor structural improvements, allowed a second story to be added. All new electrical, new plumbing, water main and sewer line, 1 R7 spray foam and R13 pink foam throughout the walls, and high end choices on the interior including custom white oak millwork (finish work done by woodworking craftsman who did the millwork for the Museum of Fine Arts) designed to match the original built in cabinets and fireplace of the original home, custom panel fridge, freezer, and wine refrigerator doors to match the kitchen, two gas fireplaces (main floor and primary bedroom), Sierra Pacific windows, 2010 roof, 2019 gutters, two furnaces and air conditioners, as well as heated concrete floors in the basement (water heater replaced 2020), buried main electrical service line, on-demand water systems (replaced 2021), Aprilaire whole-house humidifier. All of these features were designed within an open main floor living/kitchen/dining area. Sweeping staircase leads to the upper level.
