With arched dormer windows, front porch, many original "wavy glass" windows, and details galore, this early Micheaux Park home is calling to buyers who appreciate the craftsmanship and style only historic homes provide. With 2478 sq. ft., this 4 bedroom, 2 bath home has a living area with arched windows, built-in bookshelves flanking the wood burning fireplace and french doors opening to adjacent dining room with raised ceiling and wainscoting. Breakfast alcove with original built-in cabinetry provides additional dining space and connects to kitchen. Enclosed back porch houses the utility room. Spacious bedrooms throughout with two upstairs and two downstairs. Upstairs bedrooms are large and each has 2 window seats with storage below and generous closet space. Two enclosed porches at side of home create great space for sunroom and office. A bonus room is accessed through an arched cased opening off the living room at the front of the house, where the previous homeowner lovingly taught children piano lessons for years! Much has been done to bring this home back to its former glory however there is more to be done. New HVAC unit is needed - venting & ductwork is there. Interior has been painted - exterior is ready for new homeowner to choose their favorite colors and make it their own. Plenty of space to add garage/shop if desired. This home provides the character of a bygone era of home building, for more lucky families to enjoy!
