Historic Stone Home built in the early 1900's within walking distance of the Liberty Square! Mature trees line the street, & mixed historic architecture influence this neighborhood. Sit in your rocker or enjoy cool breezes on the wraparound porch with plenty of flat ledge stone seating. The entry welcomes your guest into this period home with original decorative design hardwood floors, 9 ft. ceiling heights, a beautifully polished wood banister, & original wood columns which just add to the charm & character of yesteryear. To the left is a sitting room where guests can remove their coats & to the right is the living room including a tile hearth wood burning fireplace with mantel. A formal dining area is just steps away through the pocket doors. There is lots of natural light streaming in through multiple windows. The larger grouping of windows has an expansive wood surface which can double as a buffet or window seat. A beautiful chandelier & crystal sconces add finishing touches to this already elegant room. An ornate butlers pantry with floor to ceiling cabinetry is flanked by the dining & kitchen areas - with plenty of storage space for china, crystal or a makeshift bar area for those less formal events. The kitchen is bright & cheery with old & new touches. The bead board walls, painted cabinets & floor give you the feeling of past times, but the newer appliances allow for easy entertaining. A quaint back porch has been converted into the laundry room which is just inside the back door leading from the deck. There is ample parking both inside & outside the detached 2-car garage (1 standard door & 1-10ft wide x 6.6ft door can handle even those larger vehicles) with a storage area above. The ladies tea parlor/family room & half bath complete the main level. The second story of this home boasts a reading loft, full bathroom, the master bedroom, & two other bedrooms. The full bath has a tub, separate shower & linen closet as well. Within the loft area is a wonderful closet with original large capacity built-in drawers for additional storage & shelves above for blankets. The second bedroom has two closets one which is a walk-in & the third bedroom has access to the huge dormer room on the 3rd level. The dormer room is currently being used as an exercise area but could easily be a 4th bedroom. There is a dry stone basement with plenty of shelving, a 1 year old hot water heater & a space for hobby or woodworking. Don't miss this historic & progressive home with newer windows, & comfortable heat pump source climate control.
