3432 Newark Street is a captivating mission revival house built in 1896 by esteemed architect Waddy Butler Wood. The home was fully renovated and virtually doubled in size in 2014 by the renowned architectural firm of Cunningham and Quill. This seven-bedroom home embodies both distinguished history and an abundance of warmth and charm. Seated on a quarter-acre double lot, the property offers lush, mature landscaping and many beautiful trees, including tall magnolias and huge crepe myrtles. This property has been lovingly restored and meticulously maintained. It is being listed for sale for just the second time in more than fifty years. A handsome front porch with stately columns leads into a bright and timeless interior filled with historical details and modern amenities. The front door opens to a spacious foyer and broad staircase, drenched in sun by a massive original Palladian window. Formal living and dining rooms flank the foyer, both featuring original fireplaces and intricately carved pocket doors. The main level includes a light-filled family room, breakfast room, balcony, and a chefâs kitchen with stone countertops and appliances by Subzero, Wolf, and Bosch. Additional spaces on this floor include a powder room, mudroom with built-in cubbies, and a butlerâs pantry. Upstairs, a cozy landing library with mahogany bookcases serves as the heart of the second level. The bright primary suite features modern walk-in closets and a lovely marble bathroom, while the other wing includes more pristine bedrooms and bathrooms. This level has 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, offering plenty of versatility. The lower level boasts a private study with mahogany built-ins. Across from the study, behind pocket doors, is a media room with a custom home theater system by Deja Vu Audio which includes restored vintage Western Electric amplifiers that provide warm and dynamic sound for true audiophiles. Smart storage solutions abound, along with a farm sink, Subzero refrigerator drawers and a laundry room featuring a large capacity Samsung washer and dryer. This level also has another full bathroom and two additional sunlit bedrooms, one serving as a home gym. French doors open to a stunning and private backyard oasis designed by Colao & Peter, featuring hand-stacked stone, a firepit, and a beautiful saltwater pool and spa with copper- spouted waterfalls. The pool is lined by magnificent limelight hydrangeas in summer. The pool decks are flagstone on one side and grass on the other, creating a chic boutique hotel feel. The property includes a smart irrigation system, security system with cameras, excellent HVAC, a house-wide humidifier and whole-house water filtration. An original shed matches the house and provides extra storage. A sturdy backyard fence with auto-shut gates makes the yard kid- and dog-friendly.
