This meticulously maintained craftsman retreat in Hyde Park is now being offered for sale. This one is truly an entertainer’s dream. Light and bright with tall ceilings, rich oak wood floors, and neutral, soft paint tones welcome you. Plantation shutters adorn the casement windows. The large, gourmet chef's kitchen is so inviting and flows into the living room where you'll find the gas burning fireplace and walls of windows. Soft music plays in the background through the built-in speakers in many of the rooms as well as outdoors. This property is so private, especially with the recently installed, tall, horizontal plank privacy fence.

Less than a decade old and approximately 3222 sf. (tax record), this retreat resting on the corner of Caswell and 45th 1/2 Street features four bedrooms, four full baths, three living rooms plus an outdoor living. There are two fireplaces including the indoor gas fireplace and a large stone, wood burning one outside. The master retreat, as well as two living rooms and two full baths, are on the first floor. Three bedrooms with two full baths plus an additional living/game room are upstairs. The upstairs living/game room features a wet bar with glass cabinets, sink, and a drink refrigerator. The additional downstairs living room would make an ideal home office. It could also be an additional fifth bedroom as well with the full bath right by there.

The large, gourmet chef's kitchen should hold your client's five+ sets of china, along with all of his/her other serving platters. I am envious of the storage in this kitchen and home. The granite island truly makes a statement. Other features include white cabinets with glass fronts, a white farmhouse sink, a stainless gas cooktop, built-in stainless refrigerator, wine refrigerator, oven, pantry, tons of storage, and built-in microwave.

The outdoor living includes a covered patio and an outdoor kitchen with stainless grill and drink fridge, cool recently added swim-up pool designed and installed by Divinci Pools, artificial turf landscaping, two Meyer lemon trees, an orange tree, gardens, a new horizontal, tall privacy plank fence, and a detached 2 car garage with alley access. The owners reclaimed and repurposed the low, decorative iron fence and gate at the front of the gardens. They were originally designed by F. Weigl Iron Works for the Helping Hand home in the early twentieth century. The backyard is a true, private oasis.

800 East 45th 1/2 Street is rated as an Environments for Living (R) Certified Green Home, which means it has tighter construction, improved thermal systems, Low-E windows, and energy efficient Energy Star appliances.
