WILLIAM G. THURBER HOUSE (1927) First time on the market in over 45 years! A 2-story stucco Colonial with a low-hip-roof and a stunning portico across the front with a small balcony centered over the front entrance, beautifully sited on a 12,000 sq ft corner lot in the upper Elmgrove neighborhood. The gracious open foyer showcases a splendid staircase, gleaming hardwood floors, and elegant archways leading to the living room, formal dining room, and back of the home. The living room features a handsome working fireplace and tall windows all around to bring in abundant sunlight. The spacious dining room offers a beautiful bow window and the perfect setting for entertaining. The large country kitchen provides plenty of storage and counter space plus a separate breakfast area by a window overlooking the back patio. A powder room and a large mudroom completes the 1st floor. The sweeping staircase leads you up to a delightful sitting room facing the street with access to the balcony. The impressive primary suite has a fireplace, ample closets, and an ensuite bathroom with soaking tub and separate stall shower. There are 3 other generous bedrooms, 2 more full baths, a large closet/dressing room, and a deck on this 2nd level. The lower level provides additional living space with a recreation room and bar area. Convenient oversized integral garage for 2 cars. Excellent condition throughout - all wiring, plumbing, and heating redone in 1979. All replacement windows. An East Side gem!
