Welcoming covered front porch. Gorgeous entry door and transom above, both with beveled glass windows. Classic foyer with a decorative mantle, 9' ceilings and gorgeous heart pine floors have just been refinished! 5-panel pocket doors lead to the spacious living room with 3 windows. The side entry door also has a transom for natural light into the hallway. There's a coat closet and a storage closet Harry Potter would love - plus the main level half bath is a great size. The dining room has oak floors, a Queen Ann-style bay window and built-in shelving for storage and display. The spacious and well-organized kitchen is the heart of this home with its Corian counters, new induction cooktop and high-end stainless steel fridge! Useful prep sink has instant hot water.

The porch has a brand new roof and gutters too.
Heading upstairs notice the decorative leaf pattern on the original wooden newel post. A super useful built-in area was added to the windowed-end of the upstairs hallway - great for crafting. Don't miss the stained glass light fixture and lovely medallion on the ceiling. The second floor has four spacious bedrooms and a full bath. The front bedroom has access to a lovely balcony plus there is a doorway between the two front bedrooms to connect them yet maintain privacy. The left rear bedroom enjoys its own private balcony too! The top level is one big 36' room divided by the open stairwell. Don't miss the charming turret space! A mini-split was added to this bedroom to improve comfort. There's lot's of storage under the eaves and additional storage space behind the closets that also holds the A/C unit.
What a big beautiful yard! Plenty of room for you to plant, play and entertain! Fully fenced rear yard with a useful shed. Lovely trees including Crape Myrtles, Weeping Willows and more! Cellar access is via the back yard and holds the high-end heating/hot water system.
Fabulous location near shops & restaurants and public transportation. Don't miss Penny Royal Station and Era Wine Bar and the good old Glut Food Co-op! Send the kids to Joe's Movement Emporium for all their after school and weekend programs. What a gem - you will love living here!
