    What's special

    A SLICE OF HEAVEN IS HIDING AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF OGDEN & CHESTER! This Victorian Dutch Colonial with legal deeded garage apartment has exceptional charm both in and out. There are abundant sitting venues to enjoy the yard with its extensive variety of trees and perennials, a virtual cornucopia of colors and fragrances. There are TWO DRIVEWAYS that circle the garage for easy coming and going. The house is a 100+ year old custom built Dutch Colonial Victorian, craftsmanship and details galore with a few nice surprises: - An Inglenook with a fireplace in the front foyer, ornate working pocket doors that show off the large Study/Dining Room with stain glass windows. - Bedrooms with windows seats and multiple closets (the master has been totally renovated bath which includes a claw foot tub and separate tile shower) - Gorgeous, expansive front porch that is a great space for relaxing or entertaining - A Gourmet Kitchen with granite countertops, custom cherry cabinets with seedy glass, a separate Butler Pantry, a sitting area with fireplace, and French doors that lead to an all season Sunroom with a gas Franklin fireplace and deck. - The third floor was originally built to be a ballroom (almost a 1000 square feet - updated with four skylights that open and a new full bathroom). Our kids love this room! Additional comprehensive renovations include: - 3 other new full ceramic bathrooms (entire house has all new copper plumbing) - New hardwood floors - 2nd Floor Laundry - New roof (garage too) - New gas heating systems (two zones, and new ceiling fans throughout, attic fans and additional insulation for efficiency) - New windows and relined chimney's Do you work from home or simply want to have extra income? The completely renovated sunlight filled studio/office/apartment (deeded legal with separate utilities) with kitchen, full bathroom and deck above the 3-car garage is beautiful.
