BLAIR RD/JAMES ST/PARK AVE FROM 1888 WITH LOVE-IN THE HEART OF WEST GALT. Step into a masterpiece of 19th-century architecture and 21st-century luxury at 24 Park Avenue, a double-brick 1888 home that commands attention from its prestigious double lot overlooking the verdant canopy of Dickson Park. This is not just a residence but a sensory experience, having undergone a total down-to-the-studs transformation in 2022 by RVC Interiors to marry historic soul with avant-garde sophistication. The journey begins on the new IPE wood wraparound porch and leads into a sanctuary of light and warmth, where brand-new Andersen windows frame views of the Grand River and fresh hardwood floors stretch across an expansive layout. Comfort is felt in every step with radiant in-floor heating flowing through the main entrances, family room, kitchen, and every designer bathroom. The kitchen is a culinary tour de force, anchored by a massive waterfall island and outfitted with a commercial-grade oven, warming drawer, and integrated beverage center for the ultimate host. Retreat to the principal suite, a breathtaking volume of space defined by soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and a bespoke dressing room that leads to a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a private six-person sauna and a classic clawfoot tub. The luxury extends to the upper-level loft, where herringbone floors, a marble-clad fireplace & stunning bathroom create a private world for guests. Outside, the estate functions as a private compound with manicured lawns and professional lighting that illuminate the new fencing and gates. The detached carriage house is a marvel of its own, spray-foam insulated and heated by natural gas, offering an oversized two-car garage below and a mezzanine flex space above, complete with its own fireplace, perfect for a secluded home office or gym. With room for ten-car parking and situated just steps from the historic shops and upscale dining of West Galt, this estate represents the pinnacle of refined living in the region. (id:27476)
