The mature beauty of Prospect Blvd. perfectly matches the story-book beauty of this gorgeous 1940's home! Stepping through the front entry, you're greeted with original charm, a curved staircase and an open design into the formal dining room. The dining room is flanked by windows, a vintage light fixture and lovely views of the front yard. The homes oak kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space with a little nook perfectly set up for a coffee bar! Just off the kitchen is a re-envisioned space that features both main floor laundry, office and a classic back entry. Heading into the living room, the natural light comes from all directions. You'll love the ambiance of the fireplace style and the custom built-ins to display all your family heirlooms. If you're looking for a quiet escape, the sun room is perfect to curl up with your favorite book and watch 3 of the 4 seasons change. Moving to the second level, all 3 bedrooms are generous in size with the primary bedroom offering multiple closets and a built-in vanity. The bathroom may take you back to the 1940's but in the best way possible as the original tile is in impeccable condition. Moving to the lower level, a family room offers moody finishes reminiscent of a pub. It's the perfect place to land this Fall for Monday night football! Walking outside, I can guarantee you've never stepped foot in a backyard quite like this. If you thought the house was a story-book, the yard puts this home over the top. With multiple different entertaining areas including two patios, the absolute sweetest gazebo with brick flooring, several potting sheds accented by a picket fence. The yard is nestled behind the house and garages with an abundance of privacy from Prospect Blvd. Updates include: New Water Heater/Water Softener/updated laundry and back entry as well as numerous cosmetic upgrades throughout!
