Description

One of the most exclusive and highly coveted addresses, the Dobbins-Banks House is one of only 18 properties in the private and discrete north-side enclave of Chelten Way and Ashbourne Drive. Known for its tranquil shaded streets lined by pedigree homes on large, bucolic lots, 1300 Chelten Way has been, from inception, a significant contribution to the neighborhood. Originally part of the 17.2 ac Dobbins' Estate, the property was built in 1910 as the companion carriage house to the Marston & Van Pelt designed O'Melveny estate at 1210 Chelten Way and was completely remodeled by the current owners in 2008. Conscious of the significance of the architecture, the classic Georgian exterior was left virtually unchanged, while the interior was almost completely gutted and rebuilt. Downstairs, the Powder Room was reconfigured and a new floor and plumbing and light fixtures were added. Virtually all of the downstairs flooring was replaced with hand-scraped oak flooring and the massive Living Room fireplace received a new hearth and mantle. The kitchen was updated with new flooring and appliances, including: SubZero refrigerator and 6-burner Thermador cooktop. Upstairs, the floorplan was updated for modern conveniences: expanding the Primary Bedroom and closet, and adding new full-size Laundry Room and Primary and Secondary bathrooms. Back to listing
