1618 Sunset Ave, Utica, NY 13502

There's no greater feeling than receiving the keys to your dream home... especially when you can snag that dream home without paying a fortune. 1618 Sunset is a dream home in the making and just waiting for your personal touches. It's that perfect blend of timeless character, elegance and modern updates. This 2007 sq. ft., 4 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath colonial brick home with its off-street parking and detached two-car garage is loaded with space flexibility. It's situated within an area that is experiencing an uptick in renovating period homes for their style, space and close-in proximity to work and leisure activities. This particular home is move-in ready and couldn't be more convenient. It's minutes from the arterial and thruway, parks, coffee shops, restaurants, Utica Zoo, Utica College, grocery shopping, fast food, a gym and numerous quaint shops. The entrance to the home screams early 20th century wealth with its brick facade, black shutters and tall columned portico framing the entrance. The black pendant lantern and leaded glass side lites add to this welcoming first impression. Inside you'll find a sophisticated space with high-quality craftsmanship throughout including: Rochester hardwood flooring (resurfaced on the lower level 6 months ago), working gas radiators, crown moldings, original hardwood doors, multi-paned windows, fan windows, wood burning fireplace and built-ins. The elegant foyer with its tiled vestibule transitions traffic to the more active areas of the house on the lower level and to the upper floors with a grand three-story staircase. To the right of the foyer is a period-perfect living room with its French doors, built-in bookshelves and large wood-burning brick fireplace with federal-style column mantel. This stately room is the perfect, cozy spot for relaxing after a hard day. During the warmer months, the living room opens up to the cozy and spacious sun porch with its wall-to-wall louvered windows, tiled floors and wood paneled walls. At the opposite side of the foyer is a large dining room made for entertaining. The four gorgeous, multi-paned windows with light streaming into the room is simply breathtaking. It's an impressive space that can comfortably accommodate small to large dinner parties with ease. It's close proximity to the charming butler's pantry and newly remodeled kitchen and butler's pantry with all original cabinetry. 4 Bedrooms on upper levels. A stunning example of timeless elegance...A forever home.
