Seldom does a home loved for over 50 years in Historic North Wayne come on the market. This gem of a "cottage-style" home from the development by George W. Childs in the early 1900's could not be more charming. Larger than it appears, with 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths, it offers potential lucky owners the opportunity to take advantage of the quality improvements made over the years while adding their own vision with renovations. Enjoy the neighborhood from the front porch or relax on the deck overlooking the private yard with its beautiful landscaping. The signature North Wayne carved staircase greets you as you enter, separating a gracious living room and traditional dining room. The family room addition off the back could be expanded or enjoyed as-is. There are newer systems and a 40-year roof. North Wayne is a vibrant "Walk-to-Wayne" neighborhood with sidewalks, neighborhood parties and community events. 228 Poplar is just steps from a local park. Make this wonderful home yours for another 50 years.
