Charm & character at every turn in this spacious 5 bed, 3 bath home situated in a great SE side neighborhood. The front porch welcomes you in and is the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee. Inside you'll appreciate 1920's details such as the hardwood floors (which have just been refinished!), wainscoting, corner built-ins in the dining room, and dual staircase. Large living & dining for gathering, and the kitchen boasts modern updates & lots of storage. Rare find with a powder room bath on the main floor. Deck off the kitchen for grilling and enjoying views over the big back yard. Bedrooms feature hardwood & generous closets, and a big bonus all the way upstairs: a bedroom/office combo with full bathroom. Finished basement with gas fireplace makes the perfect kid space or movie-watching room. Ample storage in the basement; 2 car garage for even more space. Backs to Grant Wood Elementary, so no houses immediately behind. 1 year home warranty included. Beauty in Vernon Heights!
