This super spacious home with Victorian-inspired details is a ready canvas to create your dream home. From the original hardwood floors to the ceiling medallions, decorative fireplaces to built-in armoire, every nook of the home has a special feature to guide your design. Enter through the vestibule into a wide-open living room with two large windows at the front that, coupled with the floor-to-ceiling window at the back, bathe the space in natural light highlighting the gorgeous floors and the first of three decorative mantels. Heading back, pass a full bath with space-saving layout and through original glass-paneled doors into the oversize kitchen/dining room. Here there is plenty of space for a full-size dinette set as well as a cozy breakfast bar at the kitchen island. Cherry cabinets that run the entire length of the space are paired with black granite countertops and stainless steel appliances including a Kitchen Aid double wall oven. At the rear is a mudroom with laundry and access a nice-size back patio for building container gardens or planting beds. There are five bedrooms spread out over two floors, great for creating a work-from-home space, walk-in closets (two of the bedrooms connect) or maybe the ultimate third-floor private suite--or all of the above. The largest room sits at the rear of the second floor with a pretty pay window, decorative fireplace and crown molding. The full bath on this level features retro-cool black and white tile floors, pedestal sink and subway tile half-wall and tub surround. On a tree-lined block, with access to two trolley lines and close to I-76, this home is ideal for any type of commute or complete lack of one.
