1920s period Bungalow Clad w/ rough cast stucco exterior represents an excellent example and derivation of the Aladdin Companys Georgia model home. Evidence of this homes origins seen in the use of timber brackets, which add to the homes unique character, also and more importantly provide structural support to the very generous overhangs. The very entrepreneurial, Michigan based company that popularized the Readi-Cut system of construction, Aladdin, was at one point known as the North American Construction Company. This company pioneered and met the exploding demand, in the early 20th Century, for house kits & Build in a day, concept of construction. In recent years, a subsequent renovation by local architect, Ted Fleming, carefully enhanced the homes overall open layout while preserving the numerous original details. A turret like addition was added at the same time and seamlessly blends in as if it were a part of the original design. Additional features include barrel ceilings, 10+ ceilings, 4 BR & 4 BA total, 2 Fireplaces, open inviting Front Porch w/pergola, foyer vestibule entrance, remodeled baths, skylights, loft retreat w/fireplace and balcony, updated kitchen with 42 high cabinetry, granite and new appliances, including a Folger Milano double oven. Dining room overlooks tranquil views of gardens & slate patio, abutting main level bedroom/den, 2022 zone HVAC upgrade, and off street parking. Delightful Palisades Community.
