Location, location, location. We aren't overselling it with this property, we promise. Open the door to your beautiful front porch, and choose your own adventure (or just sit and enjoy your coffee and social media feeds-no judgement here.) Walk to your favorite local shops, restaurants, galleries, markets, festivals, live music-host a band for next year's Porch Fest, and be the cool friend or neighbor you've always wanted to be. Birthdays and dinner parties on the back deck are calling. But when the weather turns us inside, your hosting duties won't end! The flow of the first floor makes sure everyone is part of the gathering, with the dedicated dining room open to both the kitchen and living rooms, and the first floor powder room means no guests wandering upstairs unless invited. The large entry serves as flex space for you to create a mudroom drop zone, a cozy reading nook, or for those hours of piano practice or jigsaw puzzle solving. Upstairs are 4 generously sized bedrooms, one with a decorative fireplace, and two across the hall with a storage filled jack and jill closet, including a petite original window for natural light to aid in picking out the day's perfect outfit. The finished third floor has two large, light filled rooms begging for your inspiration and interpretation. The spacious second full bath just expands the possibilities. A fully fenced yard and detached two car garage will add to the envy your friends and family will feel. Garage roof newly replaced (May 2025,) main roof (approximately 2011, according to previous owner) and beautiful new efficient boiler installed in 2018. Move in and make 541 Lafayette, the classic Elmwood Village Victorian, the place you and your loved ones have been dreaming of, and get ready to be "the house." Open House Sunday May 18th 1-3pm.
