This two-story stucco home is located in the historic Professor's Row Neighborhood. Two blocks from Cultiva Coffee and Valentino's, MoPac Trail, and to the UNL East Campus gardens and Dairy Store, its ideal location is city-center and a close distance to downtown, 48th and O streets shopping district, restaurants and more. Directly across the street is the start of the neighborhood trolley trail and one block down is Idylwild Park. 1215 Idylwild, which sits on a corner lot along a tree-lined drive with landscaped median and (new) historic street lights, has mature landscaping including hydrangeas, lilac bushes, a pollinator garden, rose bushes, and a courtyard constructed with historic bricks. A porch swing under the covered porch is the perfect place to enjoy the scenery and listen to the birds. The main floor includes a family room with a cozy, gas fireplace, dining room, kitchen, and mudroom/pantry. The second floor is comprised of three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and has access to an attic for storage, while the basement includes a large family room and adjacent ¾ bathroom, as well as a large storage and laundry/utility room. The homeowner's investments include a partially finished basement which contains a nook under the staircase and new ¾ bathroom (as of 2018), a top-of-the-line HVAC system, reverse osmosis water filtration system, new plumbing lines (with a majority of the lines now buried) and a new sewer stack. Recently, the street, driveway entrance, median and curbs were repaved, and a stone retaining wall was added, which accents the front yard. One of the best things about this home is the timeless design including plaster walls, wood floors, large windows with views of mature trees and the historic neighborhood. The new basement is an ideal place to have guests, a playroom, or a den. The neighborhood, which is a welcoming and connected community, hosts events year-round including Fourth of July parade, Easter egg hunt, pizza party, etc.
