About 293 Saint Joseph Avenue
ONCE IN A LIFETIME takes on new meaning at 293 Saint Joseph Avenue. Inspired by 1920s and 1930s Italian and Spanish Revival architecture, the residence was rebuilt from the studs and expanded in 2008 to create a home with the soul of another era and the comfort of today. More recently, the chefs kitchen and primary bath were remodeled, delivering modern function and luxury without sacrificing the homes period character-----The homes authenticity is evident in reclaimed Tuscan roof tiles, Italian Noce travertine, true terra-cotta, hand-cut Moroccan marble mosaics, mahogany millwork, hand-built cabinetry, period-inspired solid-brass lighting, copper graces the exterior- lighting, vent trim, crawlspace screens, rain gutters with ornate solid-brass straps, custom wrought iron, & Dornbracht fixtures. In an amazing gesture to achieve perfection, walls were first laser-leveled to remove any imperfections before ultimately hand-plastering all interior & exterior walls, an artisan touch rarely seen today---This aesthetic harmony gives the home a depth & permanence nearly impossible to reproduce today-----Three wood-burning fireplaces warm the living room, family room, & the priv primary suite, a gracious retreat featuring its own cozy den, elegant bathroom w floor-to ceiling glass tile & custom walk-in closet-----Outdoors, the home lives large, well over 4,000 sq. ft., a heated, arched loggia designed for year-round dining opens to a resort-style backyard w an infinity spa spilling into a gracious salt-water pool w sun-ledge, firepit, & romantic 4th fireplaceideal for quiet evenings
