This is your chance to call home one of the most admired houses in town, located in the heart of the Elizabeth Park neighborhood. Built in 1925 by local real estate entrepreneur Albert Bellerose, the architectural design of 118 Steele was highlighted in a 1983 Noah Webster Historical Society report and is admired by many who pass by. Specifically noted was the metal Spanish style roof - maintenance free it just needs an occasional coat of paint. The show stopper in the eat-in granite/stainless kitchen is the 6 burner+griddle/double oven/hood professional Viking range. Off the kitchen a perennial herb garden (basil, oregano, rosemary, chives to name a few) is nestled against a stately circular blue stone patio and almost 1/2 acre of land. The gracious arched front door opens to a welcoming foyer, from which both the north and south views invite the outdoors in - the shady screened porch beyond the dining room to the north is the perfect private escape on hot sunny days, and the sun filled 4 season room to the south through the living room is just the spot to bask in some winter sun. Gleaming pristine hardwood floors throughout. 118 Steele offers four bedrooms plus a 5th that was converted to a walk in closet, 3.1 baths, and plenty of attic storage space. The third floor offers a quiet retreat, with its own bedroom and full bath. A/C on 1st, 2nd & 3rd floors, gas heat, partially finished basement with laundry room. Inside and out this home has much to offer, come see today.

One-Family Residence District
The purpose of the following types of one-family residence districts is to provide areas for those residents who desire individual dwelling structures surrounded by open space which can be landscaped and developed with facilities for outdoor family living and where there is generally less traffic and relatively greater quiet. In keeping with these purposes, it is intended that nonresidential uses in such districts be limited to those which are primarily necessary or desirable to serve the residents of these districts and are compatible with residential uses when located in their midst. Only those nonresidential uses listed as permitted in each district are considered to be compatible.
