As you enter from the front porch you will be greeted by a lead glass foyer that opens up to a very large living room with wood burning fireplace. Adjacent to that is another spacious living room or sitting area with custom pocket doors into a dining room large enough to seat 20 with a bay window. Original ornate hardwood details can be seen throughout the home even up to the 3rd floor. Just off the common hallway is a master suite with brick wall accent fireplace flanked by window benches and a private full bath. Just beyond that is the kitchen with granite countertops, newer cabinets and laminate flooring. To round out the first floor, there is an additional private room which is currently used as a home office however could be used as a 9th bedroom or den should you desire. Beautiful staircase leads you up to the second floor which features 5 bedrooms, two of which are connected by a door yet still have private entrance to the common hallway as well as two full baths. Continuing up to the third floor you will find 2 more very large bedrooms with high ceilings and original woodwork as well as a bonus cedar which was a very common practice back when these charming homes were built. This floor also features another full bath. The basement has incredible potential because of its size and tall ceilings...... this makes it perfect for the individual looking to create more livable space. Direct access to the backyard and walk-out. For those concerned about parking, this property has 5 off-street parking spaces located in the rear of the property and accessible from Haak.
