With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 2-car detached garage, no detail of this home has been overlooked. Walking in, she greets you with marble floors, crown molding, and a handmade, walnut grand staircase. Original French doors lead to the dining room with large windows and hardwood floors that continue to the kitchen and breakfast nook. The kitchen has been upgraded with a farmhouse sink, gold accents, and suede granite countertops. In the living room you'll find a polished, red gum fireplace with walnut finish, one door leading to the screened-in porch, and another set of French doors leading to the bright and tranquil sunroom. The wood burning fireplace will keep you cozy in the winter, while central AC keeps you cool all summer! A convenient half-bath powder room rounds out the main level. Upstairs, you'll find the master suite with a walk-in closet, soaker tub, and custom bathroom, as well as the other 3 bedrooms and a full bath. Included is a remarkable French gold mirror secured from the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876! On the third floor is another spacious living space with hardwood floors and extra storage. The stairs to the basement level have been rebuilt and lead to a large laundry room with MORE custom storage, as well as plenty more storage space in the large, unfinished area. The backyard is its own oasis with a fence, 3-8ft in-ground pool, and low-maintenance turf yard, all accessible through the screened-in porch. You do NOT want to wait to see this historic beauty!
