3617 Northwestern Pkwy Circa 1900, don't miss out on this gorgeous home with historic ties to the prominent Seelbach family! Located on an oversized lot, the residential dwelling invites anyone with a love of history to come and stay for a while. Close to schools, churches, shopping, and bus routes, settle into a place that offers off street parking, plenty of space, and room to grow! Standing tall like an island surrounded by manicured seas of beautiful gardens and lawn work, all it's missing is its crown as it seems to tower proudly. Unique by its very nature, one only needs to walk in to be transferred back in time by the elegant architectural details and the uninterrupted views of the spacious rooms throughout. As the original front doors welcome you in from the front porch, notice the porch is trimmed with sophisticated Victorian carpentry that sets the tone for the rest of the tour. Upon entrance, behold the grand foyer with sneak peaks of yesteryear and present day with tile inlaid in the middle of the wood floors. Original light fixtures carry on throughout the first floor. As you take it in, the eye-catching ornamental fireplace flanked on either side by floor to ceiling shelves in the front room seem to whisper of times past with the original light fixtures. Plenty of natural light from the two front windows highlight the space that is currently used as a formal dining room with plenty of elbow room for comfortable entertainment. Imagine there once were curtains separating the dining room and the parlor (living room) in an effort to heat the area. Speaking of the parlor, the octagon room popular in the Victorian era provides two full length windows overlooking the thriving gardens. A completely updated full bathroom is located in the large hall and includes beadboard paneling and updated finishes. The glorious kitchen with custom cabinetry and luxury vinyl plank flooring compliments the historic features of the home while offering the updated amenities of today. The apron sink and the quaint coffee bar seem to be on everyone's checklist. A backsplash and updated finishes round out the restored charm. But wait! Open the side doors to discover first-floor laundry, another must-have on many checklists and almost unheard of in historic homes! Another rare find in historic homes, this one has enough space to accommodate a first floor bedroom with closet. That is significant because homes used to be taxed on the number of closets, but there are plenty of closets throughout so no need to worry. At the top of the stairs with the antique newel post and stair banister, the tour continues with another completely updated full bathroom with a walk-in shower. To the right of the stairs is the second bedroom with another original ornamental fireplace, a closet, built-in shelves, and two large windows that afford plenty of natural light. The next bedroom repeats the octagon shape of the room below it and is considered the primary bedroom. Not two, but three large windows support an abundance of natural light. The fourth bedroom is just beyond that and is currently being used as an office space. The property is fully fenced with a white picket fence on the front. The fence surrounds a back yard that incorporates a large deck with a swing that stays as well as a large fire pit area. Thoughtful care has been taken to restore the home when any updates were made. Schedule your private tour today and come fall in love with the heritage, the history, and the hereafter!
