When we were looking for a new home, one of us wanted “new and modern,” and the other “old world charm and character.” 3248 Dupont gave us the perfect blend of both, and the ability to make it our own. Updates we’ve made to the home since the purchase are many. In the kitchen, we designed and doubled the size of the kitchen island, and outfitted it with additional power outlets and a cubby for device charging. We added new high-end appliances, including new range with hood, two beverage drawers, and a microwave drawer. And we added new Carrara marble counter tops, subway tile, window treatments, Restoration Hardware drawer and cabinet pulls, and a brand new sink and faucets. In the first floor powder room, we added all new imported grass cloth wallpaper, new hardware, and new lighting and fan. In the living room, we took out the faux tile and mantel on fireplace, and replaced it with a custom fireplace designed and painted by Daryll Otto (who used the 18th century Chinese stool in that room as his inspiration). Throughout 3248 Dupont, we updated lighting, repainted, and added all new, custom window treatments. Outside, we added a new custom-designed deck with pergola that opens to the backyard, and that architecturally anchors the back of the home. Lastly, we recently added a new Bryant Air Conditioner, 13 Seer High-Efficiency 5 Ton Unit, to cool the home on all three levels with ease. Probably our favorite thing about the home is the natural light. This home radiates sunshine throughout the day! For night time hours, the programmable lighting system is brilliant. It’s been a wonderful experience living here, we hope you feel the same!
