Everything about this charming Beaverdale story-and-a-half home feels special. Located across from idyllic Whitmer Park, the property features mature trees, beautiful landscaping, and side and back decks that are perfect for enjoying a pot of geraniums or relaxing outdoors. But the kitchen is the true gem. Retro appliances, gorgeous tile and cabinetry, vaulted ceilings, and windows that flood the space with natural light make it the undeniable heart of the home. A fireplace and cozy sitting area create the perfect spot to entertain while you cook. Unique details make this home sparkle, with all the hallmarks of a quintessential Beaverdale home: arched doorways, cozy built-ins, wainscoting, and gleaming hardwood floors. You’ll also find something not always easy to come by in the neighborhood—abundant closets and storage. The main level offers two good-sized bedrooms and two fantastic baths. Upstairs, a spacious third bedroom includes an office area, wonderful walk-in closet, and adorable built-in bookshelves. Use it as a bedroom, home office, playroom, or flexible living space. The large picture window fills the living room with light, while the adorable dining area adds even more charm. Every detail in this home looks like it was chosen just for this space. Main-level laundry hookups and an unfinished lower level provide additional convenience and storage. And with a newer roof and HVAC system, this home is as practical as it is delightful.
