This Lakeshore neighborhood beauty, which comes with great storage and a bonus space/studio, is a prime spot for shopping, dining, and activities.
This 3,209-square-foot home, built in 1918, maintains the curb appeal and charm from more than a century ago, brimming with architectural details, grand picture windows, original hardwood floors, high ceilings with molding, and timeless finishes.
The main entry level includes a spacious foyer, formal living room with fireplace and library space, and a grand dining room adjacent to an eat-in chef’s dream kitchen with stone counters. It also includes a Thermador 48-inch double oven with six burners and dual fuel, built-in KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator, a built-in convection/oven including microwave and warming drawer.
An original fir and gumwood staircase climbs to a wide hallway, three bright and spacious bedrooms that include two valuable pluses: a full bathroom with Italian ceramic tiles oozing with charm, and great storage spaces and closets. The lower level features a refinished full bathroom, fourth bedroom/office, laundry room, and a charming, spacious family/rec room with original wood floor and built-ins, all with exterior access.
Outside in the back, discover wonderful European-esque entertaining spaces on three gentle levels, sheltered by a sprawling oak tree.
