Situated on a prime corner lot in the award-winning neotraditional I'On community, 49 Jane Jacobs Street is a custom residence featuring 4 bedrooms (with a possibility for a 5^th) and 5.5 baths, a first-floor primary suite, a dedicated library/home office, home theatre, saltwater pool, 2-car garage, and separate guest suite that can be income-producing. The entire first floor is centered around a private courtyard patio and garden, with all rooms having access to this outdoor space. The result is a home that feels like a tropical resort. Filled with high-end designer upgrades, exquisite lighting and fixtures, and a landscape designed by Sheila Wertimer, the home is an appealing mix of masculine and feminine, traditional and modern, that combines into a style that is refined, yet comfortable.

A welcoming front porch invites you in to the main level living and entertaining area. It’s grounded by oak floors with ship-lap walls and tall windows. To the left of the foyer is the dining room, which connects to the kitchen via a butler’s pantry and wet bar, appointed with a wine refrigerator, ice maker, hammered metal sink, and walk-in pantry.

The heart of the home is the family room with 11-foot ceilings and a gas log fireplace. A defining feature of the residence is its retractable Nana wall, which opens the interior entirely to a screened-in porch with a Charleston swing bed. Along with four sets of double doors, this retractable wall connects all first-floor rooms to the outdoors, creating an ideal circulation pattern for entertaining and daily living. The screened porch in turn leads to the courtyard patio, pool, and garden.

This central outdoor space has a patio piped with gas, a heated saltwater pool with a waterfall feature, a koi pond, exterior stairs to the guest suite, and a grassy garden area designed by Sheila Wertimer. Enclosed by the house on 3 sides and a hedge to the back, it allows sunlight to flood all the first-floor spaces, while maintaining privacy. This seamless indoor/outdoor living space defines the home’s signature resort-like appeal.

The adjacent kitchen is anchored by a large center island with marble countertop that seats 6. The custom white cabinetry has soft close doors and drawers, each optimized for easy access with a spice drawer, pullout shelves, and large pan and platter storage. The suite of Thermador appliances includes a 6-burner gas range, French door refrigerator, double wall ovens, and a microwave in the island, complemented by cast iron farmhouse sink. A fenced-in tabby patio with a bubbling fountain off of the kitchen accommodates grilling.

The entire property has smart home features, controlled from a screen in the kitchen or any internet-connected device.  Music, security cameras, climate, lighting, and media are all available at your fingertips.

Off of the living room are 2 reclaimed wood barn doors. The front room has been fashioned  into a handsome library, with shelving that conceals a Murphy bed. With a full en suite bath, it could be an optional 5^th bedroom.

Behind the other door is the first-floor primary retreat. The bedroom is punctuated by a vaulted ceiling and double doors that open directly onto the screened porch. It includes his and hers custom closets. The primary bath has a linear layout with the first space accommodating double sinks, the next a walk-in shower with teak accents and a freestanding soaking tub, and finally the water closet. Each space is lined with windows to the courtyard, providing amazing natural lighting. Bluestone steps cross a koi pond outside, adding to the resort-like atmosphere.

The first floor is finished with a half bath and large mudroom/laundry room that connects the kitchen, patio, courtyard, and garage. It includes a sink, second refrigerator, plus under-the-stairs storage. The 2-car garage has epoxy floors and an EV charger. A small air-conditioned room with a TV off of the garage is a perfect she-shed or craft room. A sunny window over the pool fountain makes this a calming retreat.

The second floor is accessed from a staircase behind the kitchen. It rises to a TV loft and 2 bedrooms, each with adjoining baths. One bedroom has a walk-in closet and a Juliet balcony that overlooks Mises Street. The other is adjacent to a screened porch. The upper level also houses the home theatre with a retractable 10-foot screen, projection system, and surround sound. Its dark walls and floors make for ideal viewings, once the screen lowers over the windows. It accesses a large walk-in storage room as well.

On the other side of the loft is a guest suite complete with vaulted ceilings, a kitchenette, and a full bath. With a second entrance from the courtyard, it can be completely closed off from the main house and function as an income-producing rental property. Dormer windows on the third floor provide light for an additional approximately 1000 sqft of space that could become 2 more bedrooms and a bath, accessed from a spiral stair addition to the loft.
