ALL OFFERS DUE BY SUNDAY MAY 25TH. Nestled on a quiet, low-traffic street in the heart of Lyon Village—a historic and highly sought-after neighborhood—1805 N Calvert Street is a stunning Craftsman-style residence that blends timeless charm with high-performance, eco-conscious living. Renovated in 2010 with design by acclaimed architect Robert Shogren, this home showcases an open main level featuring solid teak kitchen cabinetry, solid mahogany French doors with 3-point locking systems, and custom solid maple hardwood floors crafted by artisan Sam Dwyer. The light-filled family room flows seamlessly to a solid Ipe wood deck through multiple French doors, while the welcoming front wraparound porch—also constructed of Ipe—adds classic curb appeal. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite boasts Juliet balconies, a luxurious en-suite bath with dual sinks, a frameless glass shower, and a freestanding soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath, while a flexible fourth room serves perfectly as an office, nursery, or guest room. The lower level, newly upgraded with French Oak LVP flooring (2025), features a spacious rec room, an oversized laundry area, a full bath, and a large storage space that could easily be converted into a second kitchen. Dual stairwells provide convenient access from both the foyer and the kitchen. The fully fenced backyard is ideal for entertaining, and the extended driveway easily accommodates multiple cars. Behind the walls, a state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling system—powered by three buried deep wells—delivers clean, quiet comfort while reducing energy costs by approximately 50% compared to traditional systems. Four independent climate zones, each equipped with programmable smart thermostats, allow for remote control from anywhere in the world. Major systems are all updated, including a new water heater and dryer (2025), washer (2023), and dishwasher (2024). The HVAC and roof were replaced during the 2010 renovation.
