This one-of-a-kind, stately, 4-bedroom home is one block from Washington Park on a quiet street with no through traffic. Built in 1920, its quality construction is a limestone exterior and a slate roof(with a 75-150 year life expectancy)with interior plaster walls, hardwood flooring, and tile bathrooms. The home has an intentional, well-designed floorplan with beautiful windows that create light-filled spaces from every exposure. Updates are numerous: plumbing, electrical, refinished oak and beechwood floors, 2 new tile baths, finished lower level, front and back patio areas. Kitchen has St. Charles cabinets and SubZero refrigerator. The connected pantry has a separate sink, disposal, glass-front cabinetry, and drop-zone storage. See documents for a complete list. Pre-inspected and owners prefer to sell as reported and repaired. Sellers have never used fireplace in basement and do not warrant its condition.
