Welcome to 9 West End Avenue - a perfect blend of sophistication and tranquility. #9 is proudly sited on the corner of West End Avenue and Hambrooks Blvd...just 5 houses from the banks of the mighty Choptank River! # 9 has been quietly owned by a professional couple from DC for almost 20 years. You can see the subtle city influence in various details of every room, but, more importantly, you can glimpse the wife's artistic attention to minute details throughout this charming haven. Charles Goebel, a highly-respected Easton architect designed the renovations and additions. The work was flawlessly executed by esteemed Cambridge builder Thom Huntington. The renovations included a new Living Room , a glamorous first-floor bathroom, and generously-sized porches on the first floor, covered by a gull-winged roof. The outstanding spacious new kitchen features a multitude of light sources, a top-of-the-line propane range with hood, a built-in microwave drawer, and beautiful Carrara marble countertops and backsplash. A pass-through bar area to the dining room provides a great casual seating arrangement in addition to the formal dining room. The upstairs second floor offers 3 bedrooms and a full bath but the most captivating aspect of the 2nd floor is the beautiful balcony off the central hall. The balcony has views to the river and the beautifully-landscaped garden. In total there are 4 outdoor porches and balconies. The back garden is an amazing oasis of specimen plantings and magnificent trees. The well-placed potting shed makes gardening a delight. The front porch's trompe l'oeil floor and sky ceiling were designed and painted by Mike Rosato, a locally acclaimed artist whose work can be found throughout the city and in numerous museums throughout the country. #9 West End's location is ideal for strolling to the Farmers Market or to the Cambridge Yacht Club and is just a short walk to all of the downtown restaurants, galleries and shops. The renaissance in Cambridge is alive and flourishing. Please call me for details.
