Built in 1909, this fabulous American Foursquare house of over 4,000 sq ft, with six bedrooms and 3.5 baths spread over from finished floors, is situated in the middle of town, within easy distance to the commercial Belt area, and to the restaurants and shops in historic downtown St. Joseph. Only blocks away from the Mark Youngdaul Conservation Area, this would be a perfect house for someone looking to raise a family! The large yard is very private and is almost 20 feet over street level, with secure parking behind the house, complete with a parking lot, in-ground heated pool, treehouse, 2-story, two car detached garage, large tool shed, and a fire pit. The second floor of the garage has previously been a game room and has a built-in bar and large closet, and is large enough for a pool table (we know this from experience!) The 280 sq ft front porch leads into a ceramic-tiled foyer with original woodwork and leaded-glass windows. The first floor is over 1,330 sq ft, featuring a large dining room, two sitting rooms, a smaller room that has previously been a library, and a half-bath. The large kitchen (with custom cabinets, granite countertops, and a large cast iron sink) has more storage and shelves than you’ll know what to do with. It comes with the fridge, oven, dishwasher, and microwave, plus an informal eating area. There are two large coat closets, a broom closet, storage closet, and a large, heated sunroom with access to the pool. There is also a working, gas fireplace, leaded-glass built in cabinets, oak columns, and a smaller porch in the backyard. This floor has original, log-cabin patterned hardwood floors. The more than 1,230 sq ft second floor has five bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master bath has a laundry chute dropping down to the basement and a double walk-in shower with overhead and side nozzles. The second bath is a Jack and Jill between two of the other bedrooms. One bedroom has a bonus room with three built-in bookshelves, and has previously been used for a home office. The two smaller bedroom have fantastic city views, with wall-to-wall windows on two of the four walls in each. The last bedroom has been covered into a theater room, with two rows of five stadium seats and blackout curtains. The upstairs hall features two large closets, one a walk-in, and three of the five bedrooms have walk-in closets as well, with 75 sq ft of closets on this floor alone! Other than the newly-tiled bathrooms, this whole floor has refinished hardwoods, original to the house. The 450 sq ft finished attic is an awesome space, with three dormer windows and two massive storage closets with easy access to the HVAC system. The basement has one bedroom, one media room, a exercise room that comes with a working treadmill and elliptical, a large utility room with access to the heater, washer/dryer hookups, water softener, and the two large water heaters. There is a large closet under the stairs. The full bathroom has a huge, cast iron, clawfoot tub and a walk-in shower with one overhead nozzle and three side nozzles.
