If you've been searching for the perfect opportunity to renovate, build equity, and bring your dream home to life all at the same time, look no further! Privacy hedges wrap around the front yard, creating a peaceful and secluded sanctuary that's entirely your own. Once inside, the home's beautiful layout unfolds with a sense of ease and casual elegance while Spanish Revival influences add rich character. Arched French doors and doorways, wrought iron details, and barrel-vault ceilings create a timeless sense of craftsmanship and architectural beauty. The spacious living room is bright and welcoming with four sets of French doors that invite an abundance of light. A serene, enclosed patio includes an entire wall of windows, blurring the lines between indoors and out. The dining room, with its subtle tray ceiling, offers distinguished character and a beautiful setting to enjoy special meals with loved ones. Nearby, the kitchen features a spacious layout and a pantry for extra convenience. Completing the main level, find a generous bedroom and bathroom while upstairs, two additional bright and cheerful bedrooms share a full bathroom. You'll savor the home's lush and peaceful outdoor areas year-round with a large stone patio in the back, tailor made for al fresco dining, and a sun-dappled wraparound yard perfect for play, garden parties, and gently swaying on a hammock during lazy, temperate afternoons. With a detached 2 car garage that can easily be converted into a large bonus space, 940 Cornell Road is brimming with opportunity!
