Originally built in 1939, 1413 Wathen Avenue is a classic two-story Pemberton Heights home with excellent curb appeal. Designed in the Monterey style, popular during its time, the architectural design seamlessly fuses colonial revival and eclectic Spanish elements to create a well-scaled form that is balanced with intricate façade detailing.
The main house is constructed with brick on all sides, while second-story cantilevered wood balconies add a sense of airy lightness. A custom, solid-oak and glass front door leads you into a wide foyer that offers a gracious entrance. The living room with fireplace and the dining room, one on each side of the foyer, creates a sense of warmth and welcome. An addition, constructed in the 80s, includes a large informal living room, dining area, and kitchen area that all face the pool. Numerous doors and windows provide ample natural light. A private office, built in the original porch space, also overlooks the pool. All four bedrooms are located upstairs, two en-suite and two are jack-and-jilled. The primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings, a private fireplace and two walk-in closets is well laid out to provide a generous and ample getaway. An incredible screened in porch wraps around the back of the house, joining the second floor landing and the master suite.
The resort-style, south facing pool area is perfect for family gatherings or weekend BBQs. A beautiful, custom flagstone surround was installed around the pool, the covered patio, and in the interior drive areas. Architect James Holland designed the detached two-car garage / guest house / pool cabana which complements the home’s classic styling and completes the yard space.
Set on nearly a quarter acre, 1413 Wathen Avenue is the perfect balance of style, presence, and location. Offered for sale for the first time in 24 years, this is a special opportunity for its next owner.
