Views for days from this perfectly situated Upper Rockridge home. It boasts grand architecture with the flexibility and convenience of a modern home. Custom built by its only owner who bought in the '60s and rebuilt in the '90s. Enter through the gated courtyard to the exquisitely carved front door. The main floor is level in from the attached 2-car garage and features a large eat-in kitchen, and gracious formal living and dining rooms. The French doors in the living room open to the courtyard, an ideal flow for elegant entertaining. The deck off the kitchen is also accessed by this floor's bedroom, which could also serve nicely as an office or studio. The tile-inlaid staircase leads you up to a full bath and two more bedrooms. The top level is the jewel of this home; a den with soaring ceilings, an upper deck with four bridge views, and a primary suite with 2 closets, shower and tub and a balcony facing the morning light. The bottom floor has four plus space brimming with potential including a large workshop with exterior access and a full bathroom. Though it feels above it all, this house is close to the Rockridge district. A rare mix of spectacular architecture, modern flow, and untapped possibilities.
