96 Dartmouth Avenue

On one of the best interior Avondale Estates streets, just at the perfect distance from the pool and the lake, you'll find a premium 1926 brick cottage with boutique vanilla accents. It's a gorgeous historic home that even has an ADU in the back. 96 Dartmouth has a classical contemporary design that combines character, functionality, and comfortable livability. The living spaces feature oak floors throughout, thoughtful lighting design, plenty of windows for sunlight to enter, dining space, bar area and gathering spots, all seamlessly integrated. Designed, expanded and remodeled in 2016 by Clark and Zook Architects, the entire upstairs boasts new hardwood floors. The owner's retreat now includes an attached spa-style bathroom with Walter Zanger tile, a separate soaking tub, and an oversized standing shower. The double vanities and custom walk-in closet perfectly complement the relaxing theme. The design extends downstairs with Bradbury and Bradbury wallpaper—known for its historic wall coverings—and professional-grade stainless steel gas range and other kitchen appliances. When you step out back past the newly replaced deck and pergola, you’ll find a small cottage at the end of the driveway. It offers approximately 400 sqft of space that can be restored into a fully heated and cooled living area. Long ago, this was a retreat for the neighbors—a social hobnob spot for good times. It's interior is unfinished but stubbed for plumbing (full bath and kitchen) and HVAC and is ready for your design plans. The ADU's exterior has freshly painted new James Hardie paneling and doors. The backyard is beautifully maintained, with lush grass and a firepit that’s perfect for summertime get-togethers. Don't know about Avondale Estates?
