This could be your home by the Holidays! Unique opportunity to own this classic, elegant, brick colonial family home with a serene, private yard in Grosse Pointe Park south of Jefferson! Nearly 3,000 square feet includes 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, a two-car, attached garage, and air conditioning on the second floor and in the kitchen. Original, gleaming hard wood floors throughout the first and second floors (with the exception of the kitchen and powder room) are in great condition! Old world charm greets you in the large, classic walnut wood paneled living room with a wood burning fireplace and an adjacent library with a door to a small patio leading to the immaculately landscaped back yard including a sprinkler system in both front and back yards. A full dining room leads to a well-appointed kitchen with a breakfast nook area next to a separate back staircase to the upstairs. The kitchen has plenty of storage and a door to the backyard patio and garage access. The second floor has 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (including a master bedroom with en-suite bath and walk-in closet). The two-car garage has heat, electricity and both hot and cold water (could be converted to a family room as there is room to build another garage). A/C installed on entire second floor and kitchen, which cools the entire home. This property allows access to the Grosse Pointe Park Public Park which has a private movie theater, boat wells, tennis courts and a pool. This is a rare opportunity you do not want to miss!
