A historically designated home with the luxuries of modern renovation yet distinctive quality of its Mediterranean Revival style is located West of Trail in the Avondale community. Named for the first owners, William and Bessie Pearsall, the home was completed in 1925 and attributed to Thomas Reed Martin, the architect credited with Burns Court and other notable homes and buildings in the region. An expansion of the original home between 2005 and 2007 designed by architect W. Thorning Little added more than 2,000 square feet, combining meticulous preservation of moldings, floors and more with thorough modernization. Now encompassing more than 3,800 interior square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 and a half bathrooms, as well as thoughtfully composed exterior spaces including a loggia and courtyard patio, the home presents openness and intimacy with abundant natural light that showcases both its modern comforts and unique original features. French doors throughout invite a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, connecting each living space to the lush established landscape and private yard with brick paths and a vibrant surround of bougainvillea and podocarpus that creates idyllic privacy. Conveniently positioned on the first floor, an enormous primary suite spans from a bedroom with space for seating and two walk-in closets to a spa-like en-suite with a soaker tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities with granite counters and a separate water closet. Upstairs, an alternative owners’ suite employs a massive en-suite with water closet, soaker tub, room-sized walk-in shower, dual vanities, and private access to the second-story terrace. Two additional bedrooms offer accommodation for family living or hospitality, with separate flex space adding utility as a personal gym, office, or media den. At the heart of the home, a total kitchen renovation in 2024 has added considerable value with exceptional design and topline appliances including a gorgeous La Cornue oven and range, custom Venetian plaster hood, paneled Subzero refrigerator, integrated Wolf microwave oven, Bosch dishwasher, deep Franke sink, bespoke Campbell Cabinetry cabinets, quartzite surfaces and a central island that overlooks double doors opening directly to the private patio. Complementing original details like hardwood flooring, a wood burning fireplace, leaded glass transom window and more, numerous recent enhancements include a newly painted interior, new designer light fixtures and window coverings, powder room renovation, restoration of the marble tile patio surface, landscape lighting, irrigation, and whole house water filtration. Exceptional functional upgrades include hurricane-rated windows and front door, tankless gas water heater, a new membrane roof (November 2024), solar panels optimally oriented and connected to PV Solar Electric system, and a Kohler whole-home gas generator. Located in the picturesque Avondale neighborhood that is prized for its proximity to Downtown and Selby Gardens and for its collegial feel, the Pearsall House presents a rare combination of comfort and character in a serene retreat with easy access to innumerable amenities.
