Description
Situated on a picturesque brick-paved street in a welcoming residential neighborhood, this classic brick Prairie-style home exudes charm and character. As it sits on a beautifully landscaped corner lot-once featured on the local Garden Walk-it offers a rare blend of architectural detail, natural light, and cozy elegance. Nearby Evans at Canal Shores Golf Course adds to the appeal of this sought-after location. The enclosed front porch invites you in with its original limestone accents, casement windows, and oval front door-a perfect introduction to the vintage craftsmanship found throughout. Inside, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and large windows create a bright, airy ambiance. The living room features a classic fireplace and opens into a bay area with casement windows-ideal for a piano or reading nook. A formal dining room showcases leaded glass windows and a built-in corner cabinet with soft lighting. The thoughtfully updated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar and an expansive granite counter that extends into the sunlit family room. With an east-facing wall of windows, the family room is bathed in morning light and overlooks a serene patio and garden oasis. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom includes French doors leading to a tandem room wrapped in windows-perfect for a nursery, home office, or private sitting area. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second floor. The partially finished basement has lots of flexible space, plentiful storage and a full bath. Potential exists for the expansion of the third floor's large open attic. From the abundant natural light to the timeless details and beautifully maintained gardens, this home is a true gem-offering comfort, character, and an unbeatable location.
