1008 North Main is one of the finest luxury estate homes available in this market. Stunning turn-of-the-century Neoclassical architecture masterfully renovated by current owners over a multi-decade period, completed with a perfect convergence of modernity and adherence to the original inventive elegance. With 7,740sqft of jaw-dropping living space between four floors, this all brick 6 bedroom and 6 full bath estate is centrally located near other like-kind homes and just minutes from all major thoroughfares that connect the city. Peacefully nestled on an oversized double lot with lawn irrigation, private outdoor entertaining areas with multiple brick patios and walkways, and a brick pass-through driveway leads to the rear alley and the 4.5 car garage. Current owners have invested nearly $1.5M over 30 years to ensure the renovations have not just renewed what was once majestic, but have transformed the very definition, with finishes that set a standard entirely of its own. No expense has been spared to withstand the test of time, including the clay roofing system with 100 year lifespan. The double foyer and grand hall welcome you upon entry with marble tile and curved wainscoted staircase, and impressive views of the dining hall and reception room. Countless miles of millwork, including triple crown moldings and 8-inch base exist throughout much of the home. The heating system was completely overhauled with zoned GFA and CA. Absolutely stunning chef's kitchen featuring contrasting breakfast bar, Kenmore Pro commercial grade appliances, above-range pot filler and beveled-edge granite and soapstone countertops. The second floor provides the laundry room, 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including the master suite with curved wall, walk-in closet, dual vanity master bath, water closet, corner soaker tub, walk-in shower and access to the private rear balcony. Approximately 2,000sqft is more recently finished on the third floor and offers vaulted ceilings, a massive entertainment space and a separate area used as a home gym. The walkout lower level is comprised of a beautiful bar and recreational area featuring a linear modern fireplace. Comprised of nearly two dozen separate rooms, each with its own unique purpose, fits and finishes, it's quickly understood that there are far too many amenities to list, so a one-on-one private viewing is the only tangible way to take it all in. Having this rare chance to live in such a gem and architectural masterpiece awaits you at 1008 North Main. Simply remarkable. Truly spectacular.
