Property Description

A Timeless Treasure with Modern Comforts Awaits! Step back in time while enjoying all the modern updates in this lovely American Four Square Style home, a true urban oasis directly across from Penn Park and within a short, less than 20-minute walk of downtown's best coffee and cuisine. The home's charming brick facade and expansive covered front porch welcome you, featuring a unique painted tile design underfoot - the perfect spot for your morning coffee. Inside, you're greeted by the warmth of original hardwood floors that flow throughout the home. Gather around the magnificent wood-burning fireplace, a centerpiece of the living space, featuring a distinctive tile picture hearth that adds a touch of artistic elegance. The formal dining room, illuminated by lots of natural light, provides an elegant setting for meals and entertaining. Sunlight streams through the beautiful stained glass accent windows, highlighting the classic architectural details that define this era. Modern Kitchen, Classic Charm - The heart of the home, the kitchen, has been thoughtfully updated for contemporary living. It boasts a sleek palette of gray and black colors, granite countertops, and newer stainless steel appliances, including a recently installed new dishwasher. This space is ready for both everyday meals and entertaining. Practical updates, like newer windows throughout, add to the home's efficiency and comfort. Even the utilitarian spaces have seen improvement, including a new trap installed in the cast iron sewage pipe and a garage door opener for the two-car detached garage. Upstairs Sanctuary and Attic Potential - Ascend the stairs to a large, welcoming landing that connects the home's four spacious bedrooms. The primary bedroom is a bright sanctuary, bathed in natural light from its three large windows. The fourth bedroom offers a unique feature: walk-up access to the attic. This vast attic space, with its unfinished wood flooring and charming eyelash windows, presents a ton of potential - imagine a future studio, office, or bonus room! Function and Flair - The unfinished basement offers great practical space with its painted concrete floors, divided into several rooms for storage or a workshop, and even features a dry bar for casual gatherings. Outside, the two-car detached garage is a canvas of charm, featuring a beautiful floral mural on the yard-facing side. This is more than just a home; it's a piece of history perfectly positioned for a vibrant urban lifestyle. Come experience this perfect blend of historic architecture, modern updates and an unbeatable downtown location! (Professional photos to be added soon!)
