519 Chatham Avenue

519 Chatham Avenue is a Shandon cottage that was done right. The renovation here isn't cosmetic; it goes all the way through. The kitchen has been completely rebuilt: gray shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a peninsula with bar seating that opens to the living room.The living space flows well, hardwood floors, a shiplap fireplace surround, and enough room that it doesn't feel like you're navigating around furniture. Both bathrooms have been fully updated. One has a glass walk-in shower with penny tile flooring and a wood-framed medicine cabinet. The other has brass sconces, matte black fixtures, an oval mirror, and designer patterned tile thoughtful finishes in both. Then there's the primary suite. It was converted from a sunroom and it shows in the best way. Vaulted ceiling, terracotta tile floors, French doors that open straight to the fenced backyard. More space, more light, and more character than a standard primary bedroom has any right to have in a home this size. Hardwood floors run through the main living areas, barn door accent in the hallway, mature trees canopying the entire lot, and a detached outbuilding in back. Five minutes to Devine Street, Forest Drive, and everything that makes Shandon worth staying in. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
