Welcome to 5312 Studeley Avenue, a remarkable home in the coveted Edgewater section of Larchmont. Built in 1911, this three-story residence with a heated basement offers nearly 4,000 square feet of living space and has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded with over $170,000 in recent improvements.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s character is evident. The oversized front porch, classic brick steps, and manicured lawn featuring English boxwoods and an 86-year-old Japanese maple create a welcoming first impression. Step inside and you’ll find soaring 10-foot ceilings, original heart-of-pine and oak floors, handblown glass windows, wide baseboards, and exquisite woodwork throughout. Natural light fills the interiors, complemented by updated lighting and elegant transom windows.
The gourmet kitchen, designed by Robin Thomas and built by Jay Hess, is the centerpiece of the home. Custom Fieldstone pecan cabinetry, luxury soapstone counters, a quartz island, and a professional Lacanche French stove combine beauty and function. An adjacent wet bar elevates entertaining with a kegerator, beverage trough, wine fridge, and elegant backsplash. The powder room adds charm with whimsical, hand-painted English wallpaper and designer finishes.
The home offers six bedrooms and three and a half baths, including a luxurious primary suite with bay windows, decorative fireplace, and private screened sleeping porch. The ensuite bath, remodeled in 2022, features marble finishes, a walk-in shower, and a dual vanity with LED mirror. A custom dressing room with glass-front cabinetry, jewelry drawers, and shoe racks completes this retreat.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a large rear deck, stone-edged garden beds, irrigation system, and new privacy fencing. The refreshed driveway and sidewalks enhance both curb appeal and convenience. The basement provides heated bonus space with laundry, workshop, and abundant storage.
Recent upgrades include two Bosch HVAC systems (2023), new insulation on the third floor (2025), updated electrical systems, slate roof work with attic fan installation (2025), new gutters (2022), interior and exterior paint, and many thoughtful design updates. A backup generator adds peace of mind, and thoughtful upgrades ensure the home is as functional as it is beautiful.
5312 Studeley Avenue offers the perfect balance of historic architectural integrity and modern luxury. With its exceptional craftsmanship, extensive updates, and highly desirable location, this home is a rare opportunity in one of Norfolk’s most charming neighborhoods.
