A timeless haven where tradition meets modernity.
By Hubble Bisbee

A veritable treasure located in the desirable Ruxton community, the charming home at 7909 Sherwood Avenue, serenely settled within an enchanting landscape spanning 1.28 acres. This circa 1888 traditional residence, a tableau of stone and painted cedar siding adorned with a blue slate roof, is a testament to the beauty of meticulous maintenance and thoughtful modern updates.

Step through the inviting pine plank entry door with its distinctive wrought iron fittings, and one is greeted by a spacious foyer. An enchanting built-in window seat invites one to a moment of tranquil contemplation. French doors guide the way to an elegant living room, where a Georgian fireplace stands as the room’s centerpiece, flanked by extensive, softly illuminated bookcases.

The dining room is a sight to behold, with its three walls of expansive windows and French doors leading to outdoor spaces. It offers sweeping views of the bucolic surroundings, a space where meals transform into breathtaking experiences. Adjacent to the dining room, a cozy family room unfolds, its heart a warming fireplace. The family room flows easily into the adjoining custom gourmet kitchen, a culinary artist’s dream, with extensive cabinetry, professional grade stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and a window wall providing idyllic garden views.

The sumptuous primary suite on the second level features an inviting fireplace, dressing room, and private bath. This level is also home to two additional bedrooms, each with its private bath. The third level houses three more bedrooms, sharing a hall bath. The home’s lower level extends the functionality with an exercise room and a laundry/utility room. A large IPE deck, accessed from both the dining room and the family room, facilitates fabulous entertaining, flowing seamlessly into outdoor areas.

The outdoor spaces of this residence truly captivate, beginning with the flagstone patios leading into lush lawns and extensive gardens, abloom with an array of spectacular blossoms and specimen trees. A Victorian greenhouse stands as a testament to the residence’s dedication to horticulture. The home is accompanied by two separate building lots. 7909 Sherwood Avenue features a timeless haven where tradition meets modernity amidst nature’s splendid backdrop.
