Description
Tucked into the bountiful mature trees of historic East Washington St, this magical home evokes a storybook charm with its winding driveway, stucco and brick exterior, arched covered porches, and pretty woodland flower beds. A standout on the street, this home has unmatched curb appeal! Once divided into a duplex, the current owners lovingly transformed the property back into a single residence, preserving many of the vintage details that retain the character of the evolutions of its history. The front porch is an architectural gem with its 2 side arched openings. Covered from the elements, it is its own little haven. As you enter the foyer, original arched French doors and large windows create such lovely historic appeal. Light streams in through the massive Living Room's bank of windows, as the arched fireplace beckons and hardwood floors stretch through the main rooms of the 1st floor. Note the many little windows added here and there throughout the home - such delightful sources and light and character. A formal dining room is open to the living room and just off the kitchen. A powder room is off the hall that leads to the kitchen, which continues the charm with a windowed breakfast nook with open shelves and views of flower beds. Remodeled in 2010, the kitchen also has newer cabinets and a pantry. Relax in the spacious family room with its built in shelving nooks and plentiful windows - note room sizes! In a private corner of the 1st floor, bedroom 4 overlooks the back yard and a full bath is right around the corner. A light-filled flex room, now used as an office, could be used for whatever is needed (even another bedroom), and has French patio doors leading to a small deck. Upstairs, the huge master has a 2nd arched fireplace and is enveloped in natural light from an abundance of windows plus a small doorway leading to a fully covered rooftop patio! A 2nd bedroom also has access to the patio through more charming French doors. The rooftop patio with its treehouse appeal runs along the full depth of the original home! This incredible space provides a private haven to enjoy the outdoors no matter the weather, all from a bird's eye view! A 3rd bedroom is currently being used as an artist's studio and music room. Retaining the tiny kitchen from its duplex days provides a unique work space for the seller, but could easily be transformed for the needs of the new owner. A completely updated full bath services the upstairs in style. The basement with its old house personality also has a walk-up crawl space, laundry area and plentiful storage. A 2 car garage was built in 2010, along with a new driveway. The home has many new windows, much new paint, newer light fixtures and has had other extensive updates as noted on the document attached to the listing. This rare gem won't last long, don't miss it!!
