Just listed in the Elmwood Village, this exceptional 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home boasts over 4,000 square feet of living space across three floors. On the first floor, you'll find a generous foyer that opens to a living room featuring a stunning gas insert fireplace, ornate sconces and refurbished French doors leading to a spacious covered front porch. The home sits back ever so slightly providing privacy for the porch, perfect for entertaining a dinner party or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. The formal dining room, complete with a crystal chandelier, is also ideal for hosting. The kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with granite countertops, ample counter space, a double oven, two sinks, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A bright sunroom with newer Pella windows connects the dining room and kitchen, overlooking a mostly fenced yard with a stamped concrete patio and a tall two-car garage—rare amenities in the city! As you ascend the stairs, a soaring stained-glass window on the landing adds to the home's charm. The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms and a central full bath. The primary suite includes a full bath with a shower and a walk-in closet. The third floor is fully finished with a spacious full bath, cedar closet and three additional rooms. Offering potential for an in-law suite, or office area. This home is mechanically sound with a Boiler Mate HWT, a high-efficiency Weil McLain boiler, and UNICO central air. It's truly a gem in a prime location and a must-see!
