Property Description
There is no other home like 1663 W Carmen! This complete gut-rehab exudes custom touches throughout that you won't find in a developer home. Situated on a 31 foot lot, this all-brick home boasts extra-wide living spaces as well as incredible indoor/outdoor living including a professionally designed/landscaped oversized south-facing backyard offering sunlight all day and a deck off of the living space as well as a garage roof deck, all showcasing irrigation, unique planter boxes, and thoughtful/exotic plantings. The beautifully landscaped front yard and porch welcome you into this design-forward home complete with timeless, high-end and industrial-chic touches throughout. The open floorplan on the first level makes for comfortable everyday family living and easy entertaining, complete with smart home features throughout. A gourmet kitchen has a thoughtful configuration for both design and function featuring high-end stainless steel appliances, beverage cooler, pot filler, coveted storage and a 10-foot island offering seating for 5, uniquely situated next to the family room. The upstairs conveniently has a true laundry room alongside three over-sized bedrooms complete with organized closets, hardwood floors and large windows. Retreat in the master suite with room for a king-sized bed, seating and storage furniture plus a massive walk-in closet, direct access to private balcony overlooking the serene backyard and a spa-like en-suite bath featuring steam shower, heated floors, dual vanity and air bubble soaking tub. All bathrooms have been remodeled to offer luxury finishes and zen living. The lower level is a true extension of the living space with a massive family room flanked by a custom wet bar, a bonus room (could be 5th bedroom), plus enjoy a recently remodeled full bathroom complete with steam shower, extra-wide bedroom, and abundance of storage. No detail was overlooked both on the interior and exterior of this home! It is a must see!
