Built in 1921 by local philanthropist, Ben Bear, 502 W Broadway is a stately home you have to see to behold. From the moment you enter through the threshold you can see the care and attention to detail that was put not only into the building of this home, but also the care that it has been shown through the years. From the hardwood floors to the double-tiered picture moldings, this home loves to show off its character. The main floor features a regal entryway, formal dining room, thoughtfully designed kitchen and pantry, a powder room for guests, an expansive living room with cozy fireplace, and bright and cheerful sunroom. The second story contains 4 bedrooms - two of which have their own private half-baths, plenty of storage/closet space, and another 3/4 bath. This majestic property rounds out with a large corner lot, welcoming front porch, tons of lower level storage, and a tandem garage that takes advantage of both the alley access and the main road. Owned by the same owner since 1979, you simply must call your agent TODAY to see this stunning property for yourself!
