About This Home
Welcome to the serenity of 1730 Cherokee Terrace, ideally positioned along the perimeter of Cherokee Park—an exceptionally rare opportunity in a location where homeowners stay for decades and properties seldom come to market. This stately Colonial-style residence offers 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, originally built just 25 years ago, with a substantial three-story addition completed in 2011. The home sits proudly on a generous half-acre lot (.5015), providing a parklike setting that complements its timeless architecture. Designed with both family living and entertaining in mind, the floor plan is expansive yet cohesive. Rich woodwork details are showcased throughout the home, from floor to ceiling and around door casings, reflecting quality craftsmanship at every turn. Upon entry, a welcoming open foyer sets the tone. To the right, a formal dining room flows seamlessly into a bright eat-in kitchen featuring picture windows and French doors that open onto a large deck overlooking the serene rear grounds. The kitchen transitions effortlessly into a spacious family room, which then connects to a formal seating area—ideal for gatherings both large and intimate. A sweeping staircase leads to the upper level, where the private primary suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with a large walk-in closet and a spa-like bath featuring a separate tub and shower. From the landing, a hallway leads to two additional bedrooms, each with double closets, and a well-appointed full bath with dual showers and a separate water closet. The lower level expands the home's versatility, offering an office, seating area, and a full theater room with dedicated theater seating. French doors open directly to the rear outdoor living space, where an inviting in-ground pool, expansive patio, and privacy-fenced yard create a true backyard oasis. Additional storage and another full bath are also located on this level. The home includes an attached two-car garage accessible from the first floor, as well as a gorgeous front porch spanning the full length of the home, perfect for enjoying the neighborhood's peaceful surroundings. This is a rare generational opportunity on Cherokee Terrace—miss it, and you may wait decades for another.
