A Mahncke Masterpiece! This stunning century-old 1900 sq ft, 3/2.5 brick craftsman bungalow in the heart of Mahncke Park. Walking distance to the Doseum and various coffee spots and restaurants, this house has to be seen to be believed. A wraparound porch with swing and ceiling fan greets those arriving at the arched entrance made of custom-hewn limestone. A foyer large enough for a small piano leads to the living room where coffered wood beams accent the 12-foot ceilings found throughout the home. A working gas fireplace anchors the gorgeous built-in polished brick and wood bookcase. Grand windows with two-way blinds provide a perfect frame for the cottonwood and oak trees just outside while giving the occupants privacy. An identical window casement is found just behind you as you walk in the large dining room that looks out on Margaret Street. There you will see impossibly beautiful crepe myrtles that provide not only an enchanting view, but also shade from the setting western sun. Just beyond the dining room is a fully-appointed gourmet kitchen with large double-door refrigerator and double oven. A gourmet range can be accessed from both sides of the granite-topped counterspace and is convenient to the tall buffet counter where guests can sit and visit while you prepare sublime meals and open a bottle from the wine rack just above the refrigerator. A warm wooden built-in desk with bookshelves and sitting area round out the kitchen area. Tucked behind the kitchen is a small hallway leading to a backyard with a large patio area and amazing treehouse. A third bedroom was just added to the back of the property, which has two sets of original windows, letting in ample light. The large master bedroom in the back of the house boasts a full walk-in closet with spacious built-in drawers. There is a too-big-to-be-believed bathtub in the full master bath adjoining this bedroom, which also boasts a large farm sink perfect for bathing babies, fur or otherwise. A Jack-and-Jill style bathroom gives a private passage to the other bedroom in the house where two rainfall shower heads are still not enough to fill the space of the large shower area. This large second bedroom is privileged with French doors to the wraparound porch where you originally arrived. On top of all of this is a full basement roughly 1800 sq. ft. large, with a workshop area, deep freeze, a workout area, and many cubic feet of storage space, which frees up much space from the main floor.
