Oakley Renovation
Saturday, March 8th, 2008 by Amy
Welcome to this wonderful renovation on Marburg Avenue. This home was very lovingly restored in 2004 to the good taste of the current owner. She made many mechanical, cosmetic and functional upgrades and improvements to this home, it is perfect for you! The living room has all new replacement windows (all but the front windows, to maintain the character of the exterior of the home). The living room has crown molding, new upgraded neutral carpeting in excellent condition, a restored grande fireplace, and lots of natural lighting. The living room is open to the study, dining room and entry, stairway.
The floors in this home were refinished in 2004 and gleam throughout! The window you see in this photo was kept original for character; there are several other unique windows in this home that give it such great character. Again, this room has light pouring in from all angles.
Here is the updated kitchen, tasteful neutral flooring, freshly painted, lighting, neutral countertops, wood cabinets and great white appliances. This kitchen is centrally located and great for entertaining. The kitchen is also large enough to eat in, with great lighting. The kitchen walks out the side to the rear of the home to enjoy the private rear yard and patio.
The study is a sun filled room with neutral carpeting and all Gilkey windows, with a lifetime guarantee. This would be an excellent study, office, play room, studio, and library or breakfast room. Make it what you wish, a great space for your family to spread out without taking up a bedroom.
The entry has a new door with window to allow lighting inside. The closet is in the entry for you and your guests’ coats. It is great to be able to walk into an entry area instead of the living room as most of the local homes must. There is space for a table for your keys, and purse. Then just walk into the kitchen or living room and enjoy your new home.
There are three large bedrooms on the second floor of this home. This is the front bedroom, with refinished floors, a ceiling fan, window treatments, and lots of natural light.
The rear bedroom is currently being used as an office, but would make a great bedroom! Refinished floors, ceiling fan and window treatments with a great closet make this a good 3rd bedroom. Much larger than other homes’ third bedroom.
The master bedroom has been totally renovated as well. This room features refinished hardwood floors, a ceiling fan, window treatments and a closet.
The full bath on the second floor has been totally renovated in 2004. A tile surround bathtub/shower, a new pedestal sink with a new toilet, and another dressing area around the corner. This bathroom has all new features including new plumbing! Very nice and neutral with natural lighting.
This driveway was widened and re poured in 2006. Now this one car garage is simple to pull even a 4 Runner SUV inside. The garage is electric, with a remote. The retaining wall was moved away from the driveway to give more parking. This is a tremendous benefit to be able to easily use your driveway and garage in this community!
The rear yard is wonderful for doggies or small children. It is mostly private, fenced in totally, and has a great patio to enjoy the afternoon or entertain guests!
Large and spacious rear yard put in a swing set or a game of corn hole and you will be all set this Spring!
The covered front porch is so inviting, with the character of the stone, and the new front door. Welcome to 3539 Marburg we look forward to seeing you at the house!
