Welcome to 12 Harvey Place in the heart of Vilone Village, Elsmere — a charming Cape Cod–style single-family home lovingly maintained by the same owners for over 52 years. This classic 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath home offers timeless character along with modern conveniences. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors throughout, with the upstairs bedrooms ready to be refinished — the carpet has already been removed for your convenience. The beautiful & open, eat-in kitchen features decorative wooden ceiling beams, oak cabinetry, neutral toned granite countertops, natural gas cooking, along with a pub-height matching island and breakfast nook. It grants access to the large fenced-in backyard, and sits on one of the best lots in the community. A brand new hot water heater was installed in July 2025, and the windows, roof and HVAC are newer as well. There is Central HVAC throughout the home, including the upstairs bedrooms that also highlight cedar closets in both rooms. There are ceiling fans in both the kitchen & dining area, and each bedroom as well. The home’s brick front exterior paired with vinyl siding adds both curb appeal and easy maintenance. The property also includes a brand-new backyard shed, perfect for storage or hobbies. The extended concrete driveway and patio were power washed last week. Nestled on a quiet circle with minimal through traffic, this home provides peace and privacy while being just minutes from local parks, schools, shopping, and major routes. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own this well-loved home with solid bones and wonderful potential in one of Elsmere’s most desirable neighborhoods! **Buyers, please do your due diligence for tax purposes**
