A snapshot of 811 Folger Avenue

811 Folger Avenue is a unique and dynamic residential design from Architect David Stark Wilson. His modern high design, characterized by clean lines, beautiful finishes, energy efficiency, and an impeccable sense of fenestration, is showcased in this property. The sun’s rays shining through the skylights, are a captivating example of Mr. Wilson’s signature use of natural light, add a touch of intrigue to this unique design.

 With its tall ceilings, this property exudes elegance and offers a spacious living environment. The purposeful use of several custom windows on each floor illuminates the space with bright natural light, enhancing the comfort of the living space.

This all-electric property is designed for modern living, featuring air conditioning and a complete rooftop solar system (Seller owned). It is fully equipped for high-speed internet, and the building’s main low-voltage panel is ready to accept fiber and data bundle service, ensuring a seamless and convenient living experience.

In this era of remote work, 811 Folger Avenue has a perfect office/workspace with an independent level entrance. The light from the tall French Doors effortlessly expands the space, creating a bright and airy environment. This space features an ADA half bath and additional counter space plumbed for a refrigerator and a microwave.

This residence has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and an "open plan" study.

The spectacular “great room”— is a dynamic kitchen/dining area/family room combination. The kitchen has a huge island and a suite of energy-efficient appliances. The huge counter with bar seating effortlessly anchors this room. Two huge custom windows frame the ever changing urban views.

The high design and light in this residence are truly remarkable!
