Property Description

A Colonial charmer nestled amidst vibrant surroundings in the heart of the sought-after Village of Martin's Additions, 7203 Summit Avenue exemplifies a century-old residence renovated to suit contemporary lifestyle demands while retaining its original character and appeal. Prominently positioned within mature foliage, the home is set far back from the street, introduced by a deep front lawn with an elegant brick paver walkway. The front door opens into a generously proportioned foyer from which the main level spaces cascade. Parlor-like in its nature, the space serves as a formal reception area and is sumptuously finished with grass cloth wallpaper as well as a central fireplace with Carrara marble surround. A private study/sitting room, powder room, and dining room flank the entryway, the former of which is flooded with natural light and accessed through French doors, and the latter of which showcases a large bay window and welcoming window seat overlooking the front yard. The dining room connects directly to the kitchen, which has been updated with two-tone white and olive shaker cabinetry, marble countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. The kitchen, boasting both banquette and counter seating, is fully open to the large great room, the home’s main living space. Featuring an entertainment center flanked by custom built-ins, a wall of windows, and direct access to the rear deck and patio, the space is the heart of the main level and is adjacent to a private mudroom with separate access to the driveway for easy entry. Upstairs, the large rear-facing primary suite with an abundance of natural light offers sweeping views of the private, lush backyard, and features a wall of closet space lined with built-ins. The luxurious primary bath showcases stunning spa-like linear tile, a skylight window, a walk-in shower with rain head, and a spectacular midcentury modern walnut double vanity. Three additional bedrooms on the upper level share a common hall bathroom. Additional living space is found in the lower level, where a large open-concept recreation room is an ideal place for relaxing. Laundry facilities and a storage room complete the lower level. Out back, a Southern California-style standalone heated and cooled studio plays a multi-purpose role as a home office, gym, garage, art studio or play area. It opens directly onto the rear lawn, which also comprises a full-width deck stepping down to a generous flagstone patio, a space curated for dining and entertaining al fresco. A blend of manicured landscaping and thoughtful hardscaping is found throughout the fully fenced, private, and tranquil outdoor space. Offering a truly unique blend of charm, functionality, and accessibility to shops, restaurants, and major commuter routes, 7203 Summit Avenue is the epitome of quiet luxury.
