Property Description
This home has hardwood floors throughout, all updated bathrooms, an updated kitchen, a finished lower level that has its own separate entrance, and many thoughtful upgrades that this homeowner put in that you simply do not see often for example: 3 skylights on the top floor (one originally located but updated and 2 put in to maximize natural light, a central vacuum cleaner, all original radiators were removed from the property and sent off site to have all of the decades of paint stripped off so they look and function pristinely, all old cast iron piping to the radiators were removed and replaced to enhance ceiling height in the lower level.
The ideal footprint with 3 bedrooms (plus a den)/2 bathrooms on the top floor. On the main level, there is a half bathroom along with a large living room, dining room, kitchen with a full sized pantry, and a bonus room that could be an office/kids playroom/a second seating space. The lower level has a bedroom, full bathroom, 3 closets, a wet bar area (that can be expanded to a kitchenette), a large laundry room/storage area, and a separate entrance. This lower level can be another level of living for you, guests, or it can generate income. The top floor attic is a great bonus for storage or could be outfitted as another office, playroom, or could have dormers put in to make it another usable level with bedrooms, offices, etc.
Walk out to the backyard through the covered porch onto a massive wood patio that has 300 sq ft of space for dining and lounging. You are surrounded with a built-in raised brick flower bed surrounding the patio full of colorful and seasonal blooming flowers. There is fresh sod in the backyard that offers plenty of additional green space. In the rear of the yard there are 2 secured off street parking spaces, 1 covered and the other an open parking pad space. This parking area has so much flexibility - it can stay as is, half of the space can be converted into a gym, office, art studio, workshop or more with minimal effort as there is power and the structure in place.
Finding this balance of location, charm, features, size, and function in the neighborhood is hard to come by. There is time to make this home yours and experience Halloween, a Presidential Election, Thanksgiving, Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa, the New Year, and beyond!
