Welcome to the August Olson house, located on a private 12, 500 SqFt lot, perched above one of the best streets in Irvington. This grand, architecturally significant 1910 Craftsman has been fully renovated with no expense spared. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, it was designed by architect Raymond Hockenberry, who also designed the lodge at Crater Lake National Park. Over the last 10 years, the owners have completed a comprehensive total home renovation preserving all period characteristics while the home mechanicals and finishes have been brought up to date for modern living. Upon entering the home you are greeted by a warm and inviting living room with exquisite millwork, a chic comfortable den and a formal dining room overlooking a serene tree lined street. Through the butler's pantry, the fully appointed chef's kitchen awaits featuring Soapstone countertops, Wolf 5 burner cooktop, Dacor double ovens, built in refrigerator and a sunny breakfast nook. Upstairs, you'll find 4 bedrooms including a stunning primary suite with a walk-in closet that dreams are made of. The primary bath is a luxurious retreat, featuring Pratt & Larson Tile, Calcutta Marble, Waterworks fixtures, and a refinished original bathtub. The lower level is an entertainer's delight, featuring your very own authentic English Pub and wine cellar with storage for 1, 000+ bottles. Private backyard and garden is an entertainer's oasis with a smashing outdoor kitchen, beautiful stonework and Koi pond. Rare for the neighborhood, a rebuilt 3-car garage provides ample parking and storage. Don't miss the opportunity to own this meticulously updated and thoughtfully designed home in the heart of Historic Irvington! [Home Energy Score = 1.
