Welcome to 224 W Providence Road, a historic gem with the kind of charm, scale, and craftsmanship that modern homes can only hope to replicate. Built in 1904, this striking Victorian is authentic, storied, and effortlessly cool. From 9' ceilings and deep window sills to period millwork and original crown molding, every detail speaks to an era when homes were designed to be both beautiful and enduring. This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has room for everyone and everything. The open-concept kitchen features counter seating for casual meals and conversation and opens to a dining area with space for a full table. A generously sized living room with a fireplace anchors the main level and serves as a natural gathering place, whether hosting holidays or settling in for a quiet evening. An enclosed three-season heated front porch adds yet another inviting space, perfect for morning coffee, reading, or people-watching. A first-floor bonus room offers exceptional flexibility as an office, den, or playroom, with the option to enclose it and create a first-floor guest bedroom conveniently located near a full bath. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features an ensuite bath, a large walk-in closet, and access to a fire escape. Two additional bedrooms complete the second floor. The ultra-private third floor offers a spacious fourth bedroom and an updated full bathroom. A full, unfinished basement provides ample storage and houses the laundry area and a bonus refrigerator. Set on over one-third of an acre, the property offers outdoor space rarely found in Delaware County. The large composite wraparound deck is ideal for entertaining, dining, and summer evenings, while the fenced-in yard and gated driveway provide room to run, garden, play, and relax. The driveway provides ample off-street parking, with enough room to turn around, complemented by a two-car garage. A large storage shed adds convenient space for bikes and lawn equipment.
