If one tries to imagine what the newly developing Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood looked like during its first two decades as lots were being sold and new brick homes were being built, a visit to the 5700 block of McPherson on a weekday might give a hint of the level of activity.
In the past, a number of homes here were abandoned and allowed to deteriorate to the point that the only options were to rejuvenate them as a true gut rehab or to tear them down.
In the past four or five years, new housing emulating the style of the original houses has been built, and a number of lots are currently being offered by a developer. 5739 McPherson, built in 2004, started out with many special features and has been further enhanced by its owners Troy Robinson and Anthony Spears.
The large and inviting entry opens to the living room with crown molding and wood floors or into the kitchen featuring granite counter tops.
Most of the furniture was purchased in North Carolina and the decor is impressive. Window treatments throughout the house were custom made by Troy. Both the dining room and kitchen lead to the back yard. Conveniences on the first floor also include a half bath, a main floor laundry, and a large coat closet.
The lower level is also luxurious with an entertainment/media center and a billiard area. Even the basement is topped off with crown molding!
A full home gym with more equipment than some local gyms and a full bath complete this area.
The homeowners finished it in seven weeks.
The second floor has a full bath off the main hall and three bedrooms, one being a master suite with bath. One bedroom is currently used as an office.
The resort-like back yard of this home was professionally landscaped.
It features an inground pool, a pergola area with sun screen and overhead fan, and a detached garage with a trellis covered by clematis and morning glories.
