About this House

Three levels of charming original prewar details with an enclosed wrap around porch, five spacious bedrooms, 3 large bathrooms, full finish basement, separate double access to your enormous park-like backyard that includes a playground, garage and private driveway with room for 3-4 cars; all for the best value in the neighborhood.

First level - consists of your enclosed wrap around porch, entry foyer with original double doors with beautiful glasswork and wood inlays. Original hardwood floors with crown molding are adorned throughout. To the right, two tall architecturally designed columns with leaf artwork detail greet you upon entering the large formal sitting room that may also serve as a mudroom, office, or playroom. To the left enter via tastefully designed pocket doors leading you to your living room with a continuous flow into your traditional formal dining room, decorated with wainscoting, a decorative fireplace and a pretty view into the garden. Albeit separate, your dining room has three ways to access it; great for holiday entertaining. It also easily connects to your bright, triple windowed eat-in kitchen with marble countertops, plenty of cabinet space, and access to the back yard.

Second level - offers three gracious bedrooms including your master suite with a decorative fireplace, large deep wall to wall closet and easy access to the adjoining room that may serve as a den, dressing room, lounge, study or simply another bedroom and a bathroom with custom walk-in linen closet.

Large windows throughout allows for beautiful sunlight to pour into every room with eastern, southern, and western exposures.

The third level - offers two additional sprawling bedrooms with an abundance of storage, closet space, skylight and full bathroom.

The full finished basement is wonderful for entertaining and feels more like one of the upper floors offering high ceilings, a wet bar with new under counter wine refrigerator, guestroom, full modern bathroom, large laundry room, separate storage room and more_
