5009 Hillcrest Avenue

An architectural wonder of creative design & construction! Nestled in a woodland oasis, this mid Century modern craftsman ranch, with charming outbuildings, walkways, stone walls & verdant grounds, can disarm the most discerning buyer and inspire awe. Inside the home, quality features & finishes welcome at every turn. At the threshold, a Frank Lloyd Wright styled door opens to a natural wood paneled foyer with Mexican tiled floors each emblazoned with an octagonal motif. Then through a red brick archway a great room manifests with many splendors! Richly cured solid red oak flooring span its full expanse. From varied ceiling heights tasteful drop lights, recessed lights, fans and skylights lift the eye to a second story loft. Set upon a raised brick arch is the wood stove hearth with its floor to ceiling red brick backdrop. A blocked glass wall accents the dining area. And in the gourmet kitchen gleaming granite counters top the center island, breakfast bar & workstations. Heading further to the wide and airy relaxation area are Velux skylights & Pella windows providing natural light and views. The piece de resistance is the great room back wall rising high to a peaked ceiling. Here, French doors lead in or out and are topped with a grand palladium window encircled by a red brick archway. Like a mantra, the octagonal motif repeats throughout the home; an interior window above entry to the full bath, as do blocked glass accents; a wall behind the full bath whirlpool tub. The primary bedroom opens to a 3-season octagonal portico for extended repose or private dining. The bright second bedroom hosts a stairway to the 2nd story loft and glass door sliders to the outdoor deck and grounds. To be discovered outside the house are the tall trees sheltering the lot with shade and feed for the woodstove. There is a pond, a pergola, and cabana for outdoor kitchen use with space to store chopped wood. Walkways lead to a fully equipped guest house on the lots right corner, and on left, a workshop garage. Formerly the site of an old hunting camp, this land area is situated below Irish Mountain. It has been told that gold was once found on Irish Mountain. Today the legend continues in this private retreat that exudes uncommon treasure.
