This rare corner property WITH a garage in historic Centre Park is available for sale and has been lovingly cared for! You will be stunned at the condition of the home from the original hardwood flooring, the stained glass windows, leaded glass doors, 9 ft ceilings and all of the charm of this 1905 Victorian twin home. Upon entering, you are greeted with a beautiful 30 ft long living space with a wood burning fireplace, curved transom windows, wooden border features on the floor and a view straight into the dining room. Between the living and dining spaces is a fabulous single hexagonal pattern pocket door. The dining room allows for a nice long dining table. The kitchen is just beyond the dining space and has been refreshed with white cabinetry, stainless and chrome edged formica counter tops that remain relevant to this day. A vintage electric range fits right in with all of the storage space, dishwasher, double stainless sink with garbage disposal. A single pocket door separates the space to the main floor laundry hookup where there is also a walk-in pantry and a half bath. There is a front and rear staircase to take you to the upper level. There you will find a large front bedroom with a unique wood treatment feature wall, walk-in closet, access to a large full bathroom with a glass and tile shower stall and separate soaking tub, a dual sink Pecky Cypress wood vanity ideal for a bathroom space, wood and slate flooring and a pretty cool stained glass window. Another pocket door opens to access the hallway from this bathroom. There is a middle bedroom and then a 3rd bedroom in the rear with a sunroom just beyond that could be office space, an additional sitting room, studio, etc. On the top level is a large open space that was 2 bedrooms when the home was built. The brick wall has been exposed all the way down the stairwell and the wood flooring is in very good shape. A bar area and sink are in place. This could be a very nice location for an additional bathroom if needed. The basement is unfinished and has freshly painted walls as well as laundry hookup, 200 amp electrical panel, gas furnace and water heater, cedar closet and storage AND garage space. The current owner has had 3 vehicles in this garage space! The rear yard is fenced with a paver patio and privacy. The front porch is a wonderful wrap-around and the exterior of this home has beautiful Victorian painted wood trim details. The home has central air for the 2nd and 3rd levels and a separate zone to add central air in the future on the main level. This is a lovely place to call HOME.
