Some homes simply have a presence—and from the moment you arrive, you'll understand why. Perfectly situated on a beautiful corner lot in the heart of Mt. Vernon, this lovingly maintained two-story home is filled with the kind of craftsmanship that simply can't be replicated today. Gorgeous original woodwork, rich hardwood floors, elegant trim, built-ins, and stunning architectural details create warmth and character around every corner. Inside, you'll discover over three finished levels offering space for everyone, including 3 spacious bedrooms, a non-conforming fourth bedroom in the lower level, 3 full bathrooms, and a finished attic that makes an ideal family room, guest retreat, playroom, office, or creative studio. As a bonus, you will find large closets throughout the home for everyday storage/organizing needs. The inviting wraparound porch welcomes you inside to bright, spacious living areas that flow beautifully together. Large windows—all replaced throughout the home—fill each room with natural light while preserving the home's timeless charm. Whether you're gathering around the dining table with family, or relaxing in one of the generous living spaces, every room feels warm, inviting, and full of history. The spacious kitchen offers great cabinetry and workspace, while the finished lower level provides additional living space, a full bathroom, laundry area, storage, and endless flexibility for hobbies, guests, or recreation. Outside, the oversized lot is shaded by mature trees and offers plenty of room to play, garden, or entertain. The large attached two-stall garage is an exceptional feature rarely found with homes of this vintage, providing both convenience and additional storage. Homes like this don't come along often. If you've been searching for timeless craftsmanship, generous living space, thoughtful updates, and the charm of small-town living, this Mt. Vernon beauty is ready to welcome its next chapter.
