This Beautiful Victorian Home is situated on a double corner lot on lovely tree lined Western Avenue, only two blocks from Lytle Park. This well loved home has charm and character throughout. The decorative front porch is spacious, and serves as the perfect place for relaxing and enjoying the wonderful neighborhood. The main entrance opens into an inviting foyer with a grand oak staircase, awesome windows and hardwood flooring. The parlor and living room boast original fireplaces with rich wooden ornate mantels and mirrors. The extra tall ceilings and numerous windows throughout create a perfect open atmosphere. The transoms, curved windows in living room, leaded glass windows, solid wood doors (including pocket door), original crown molding, wallpaper and window treatments add to the charm of this Victorian beauty. The turret room is sure to be a favorite! The 3rd floor (formerly apartment) is an added 1502 sq. ft. you can rennovate or use for storage .
