A home in Fieldston defines gracious living
L
ocated on a tree-lined street in the heart of Fieldston, 5000 Goodrich Ave. is a grand seven bedroom, six-and-ahalf bathroom English country-style house. Built in 1923 on a hillside corner lot, it has been renovated and modernized while preserving and restoring its period details. A skylit center hall with a grand stairway sets the stage, with a graciously proportioned living room on one side featuring a wood-burning fireplace, wainscoting, an intricately patterned plaster ceiling and oak plank flooring with inlaid fasteners. Broad multi-pane glass doors connect the living room to a bright, west-facing sunroom to the west and a handsome den with a powder room and custom built-ins flank the living room to the north. On the opposite side of the entrance gallery is an elegant formal dining room, a separate breakfast room and a meticulously renovated kitchen. No detail has been spared, with double Sub-Zero refrigerators and freezers, double dishwashers
and double ovens. In addition, there is a butcher block-topped center island, granite counters, a large walk-in pantry and a desk area. Two maid’s rooms, which flank a full bathroom, are currently being used as offices. The second floor has a sprawling, sumptuous master bedroom with exquisite light, a private terrace, a wood-burning fireplace, his-and-hers bathroom and huge closets. Three additional spacious bedrooms share two bathrooms. The full-size attic could accommodate four additional bedrooms. The recreation room in the basement boasts a professional gym. An additional guest room, with full bath completes the space. The home is equipped with a multi-zone HVAC system and a central vacuum system. Outdoor gardens and patio are lushly planted with flowers and shady trees. This home is located near private schools and houses of worship. According to Tobias Schapiro and Ann B. Schapiro of Brown Harris Stevens, the asking price for the property is $2,700,000.
