Those that are looking for a grand home in the Historic Fan District, look no further than 1110 Floyd
Avenue! With 7 fireplaces, 6 bedrooms and 5 full baths, this home is truly grand. This 3 story home has been fully remodeled from the inside-out and top to bottom. No stone has been unturned in this renovation.
As you enter this home, you'll notice all of the original pocket doors are still in place and working - a rare find these days. There's a large living room, with huge bay windows, that opens directly into the dining room. While this home still maintains the original floor plan, all rooms open nicely into one another, providing for more modern entertaining. The chef's kitchen in anchored with a large oversized island. You'll find a custom wine fridge, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, gas cook top, built in microwave and storage galore!
Travel down the hall for a full bath, complete with a urinal. This is a mans dream! Lastly you'll find the first of six bedrooms on the first floor. The current owners are using it as a playroom but it also could serve as an additional living room or home office.
The second floor boasts an oversized master suite, complete with a sitting room and beautiful exposed brick. The master bath has an amazing over-sized shower, 2 pedestal sinks and a walk in closet. Head down the hall for 2 more bedrooms connected with a Jack and Jill bath. No need to head down to the basement to do laundry. There is a full size washer and dryer on the second floor. 
As you wind your way up to the 3rd floor, you'll find 2 more oversized bedrooms and 2 more full bathrooms. The back bedroom has a private entrance outside to the a back staircase. This private entrance to the third floor could provide a variety of options, including a rental. Maybe you are looking for a way to keep your guests or in-laws in your home, but out of sight ... here's an option.
Head out to the fenced in backyard and parking beyond that. Want off-street parking in the Fan?, You've got parking and plenty of it! Thanks one of the deepest lots I've seen in the Fan, you've got parking a 6 generous sized cars, in addition to having a fenced in back yard. And if you don't need parking for a fleet of cars, you've always got the option to push back the fence line and expand that back yard even more. With this lot, you could easily add a swimming pool (yep, I said swimming pool in the Fan District) and/or a garage. This lot provides a variety of options for any buyers.
And while this house is fabulous at first sight, some of it's real beauty lies within places you can't see. While things like roofs and chimneys aren't sexy, they are the kind of things that can keep you awake at night after closing. At 1110 Floyd Avenue, you'll sleep like a baby knowing all of the things you can't see. Since purchasing the home in June 2013, the current owners have done the following improvements that are valued in excess of $20,000:
- New flat roof & rebuilt sub roof
- Custom rain leaders/gutters on back roof
- Drywall in front bay window (master bedroom)
- Grout removal and re-grouting in master shower
- Brick repointing for whole house
- Attic sealing and waterproofing
- Structural joists in basement
- Floor refurbished in second floor bedroom
- Capped and sealed all chimneys
- New stove top burners
And while I previously told you how fabulous the kitchen is in this home, you are still in the Fan ... so eating out is a must! In the Lower Fan District, you've got so many walkable options for eating out. A few of my favorites near 1110 Floyd Avenue include:
Lamplighters for a quick bite to eat and coffee
Kuba Kuba for, well ... everything! Don't leave without induldging in their famous Tres Leches cake
Edo's Squid for all things authentic Italian. Olive Garden lovers need not come here.
