Perched on a prominent corner in Linwood's coveted Gold Coast, 7 Delmar Avenue is a custom-designed, custom-built residence of rare architectural distinction. Gambrel roof lines and classic New England cedar shakes establish a timeless first impression. Inside, Over 3,500 square feet (5,000 including bsmt) of thoughtfully composed living space is finished with the kind of detail that simply cannot be replicated at today's cost of construction. Warm hardwood floors, dramatic coffered ceilings, and a centrally positioned fireplace anchor a layout that is both elegant and livable. The gourmet eat-in kitchen features a large island, designer appliances, and a dedicated coffee bar. A stately home office, formal dining room, and screened sun porch complete a first floor designed for the full range of daily life and effortless entertaining. The second floor offers a spacious primary suite, highlighted by a cozy fireplace and ensuite bath featuring individual vanities. This level also provides a conveniently-located laundry room and two large bedrooms, serviced by an oversized Jack and Jill bath. A separate, private en-suite apartment provides exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, or staff. Above, a walk-up attic presents significant potential for additional finished living space. The large finished basement adds another dimension entirely. An elegantly-appointed full bath and generous square footage make it a natural extension of the home's living and entertaining program. Outside, the craftsmanship continues. Belgian block paving, a bluestone step walkway, exotic hardwood decking on the porches and railings, and a stone-paved rear patio with a dedicated barbecue area speak to the same standard of quality found within. Natural hedges frame the property's sunny southwestern exposure - a setting that is comfortably-sized for a future pool. Opportunities of this caliber - location, architecture, and finish quality in concert - are genuinely scarce in today's market.
