Description
Experience rare privacy and historic charm in this beautifully preserved Avenues home. Surrounded by lush greenery, the property features a deeply shaded front yard-averaging 10 degrees cooler than the street-and a charming backyard complete with a brick patio, ivy, and mature rose bushes. Inside, the home radiates historic character with its original molding, Italian tile, recently refinished hardwood floors, and subtle stained glass paired with functioning transom windows. On the main level, a formal entry leads to a custom-designed vintage kitchen featuring a spacious walk-in pantry. The living room boasts a working, wood-burning fireplace, while the dining room features a long tiled bench and custom display cases with shelving perfectly sized for a record collection. Modern additions include updated heating and AC, a brand new refrigerator, and brand new washer and dryer ensure updated and convenient comfort. The upper level is ideal for families and professionals alike, keeping all three bedrooms upstairs. This includes an expansive primary suite that easily accommodates a king-size bed. Downstairs, a large, unfinished basement with a separate entrance includes a newly refinished bathroom and a utility sink. The space is currently used as-and perfectly suited for-an art studio and workshop. For outdoor living, you can enjoy summer evenings on the large, screened-in porch, which is ideal for intimate outdoor dining or simply cozying up with some tea and a book. Located just steps from the local library, Memory Grove, grocery stores, and shoreline trails, this quiet, friendly neighborhood offers the perfect balance for book lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates original finishes and historic character.
