13 Ballard Avenue
Description of Property at
13 Ballard Avenue
Located a stone's throw off magical Magnolia Ave with its amazing live oak canopy, the Ballard House has its own share of enchantment evident the moment it comes into view. Wraparound porches up and down add over 600SF of outdoor living to the 2,000SF house which offers notes of historic character to an easy floor plan catering to today's wants and needs. Detached 2-car garage with workshop is a welcome addition and long driveway will handily accommodate the stream of friends stopping by. Drag yourself away from the enticing porch, step inside and behold richly hued Jatoba wood flooring which runs through most of the house. Also known as Brazilian Cherry, stronger than oak, sustainably harvested and simply beautiful. First up is the library - a place to nest and catch up with your Kindle. Kitchen and 1st flex room are just beyond - a sunlit space where meal prep will be a pleasure. Island cook-top and seating area, wall oven plus microwave/convection combo and a wealth of solid wood cabinets with caramel colored granite counters. Laundry nook is across from pantry storage and then there's the flex room with a wall of built-in cabs and cubbies. Casual dining, office for 2, playroom for wee ones - you choose. Central dining is off the entry and a large living room enjoys lots of windows. A fireplace for chilly evenings waits patiently for the right weather but you'll love it here year round. 1/2 bath with hand-crafted wood counter is tucked under the stairs next to Harry Potter broom closet. Upstairs a 2nd flex space with more storage and a work station provide more possibilities for use. En-suite master is generously sized, with a sweet bath and a private porch. Two bedrooms share updated bath. Out back the large covered deck is great for dining, chilling and watching the container garden grow in the courtyard. Bring your hobby to the garage workshop and your tools to the shed. Steps to San Marco Ave with eateries, shops, art, local events and wine bar - sweet.
