This beautiful, stately Four Square home truly embodies historical Old Southwest. The attention to detail is evident walking through the front door: cascading staircase, historical fireplace and mantle, original hardwood floors, tall glass French doors, wonderful high ceilings. The flow and layout give rooms a spacious feel, which also makes them quite versatile. The generously-sized kitchen is perfectly situated in the home with ample cabinet space, coffee bar section, breakfast area and easy access to the backyard/entertainment area. Hardwood floors continue on the second floor where there are three bedrooms, a tastefully updated full bath, and an office that could be a fifth bedroom. And then there's the grand master suite on third floor... An open and unique living space with kitchenette, updated full bath, and living room. P-E-R-F-E-C-T as a master suite, office, media room, nursery or possible rental. One of the more beautiful features of this property is the exterior/yard. Large, rocking chair front porch. Nicely landscaped yard, lush and green. Backyard is large and nicely flat for an Old SW home. Both the front porch and backyard patio/firepit areas are natural extensions of the living space in the home. Prime location that is two blocks from Highland Park and minutes from Downtown Roanoke. This is a wonderfully pleasant abode that is quintessential Old Southwest!
