Listed by Jeremy Kahler, KWBH, 605-381-7500. Perched on a knoll overlooking the heart of West Boulevard’s Historic District, this 1930’s stucco Tudor combines the craftsmanship of the past with thoughtful updates respecting the home’s character. Glance out of the period steel casement windows behind the professional stove to see the dinosaurs atop Skyline drive. Designed for entertaining, guests can dine while watching dogs walking their people, enjoy the large fireplace in the expansive living room, or flow out the French doors into the covered patio overlooking the enclosed back yard. Much of the lawn has been replaced with native plantings chosen to thrive in this icroclimate which supports everything from a magnolia tree along the street to shrubs and plants serviced with extensive drip irrigation. The former tiny attached one-car garage was converted into a practical modern side entrance reminiscent of a brownstone’s vestibule, complete with heated porcelain tile floor, an extensive pantry, and a mudroom area. This garage was not needed as the detached, oversized two-car garage, attached equipment room and a potting shed provide ample storage space. While the large boiler and AC unit served the main structure well, a dual mini-split system has rendered the rear sections of the house more comfortable when weather turns extreme. There is no carpeting on the main floors, only refinished hardwood floors, complete with mahogany trim. (Cont..)
