Property Description
Exciting opportunity for a gorgeous Victorian, Queen-Anne style home, nearly 3,000 sq. feet (2944 per assessor), so well loved and improved by its current owners! Wander up the vintage brick walkway to a spacious (30'x8') covered porch. The solid wood front door opens to a cozy vestibule then on to a warm welcoming foyer, both boasting custom Bradbury & Bradbury period wallpaper & rich in woodwork & details (see the light fixtures here!) Check out that staircase, beautifully restored & rebuilt. French doors lead to the formal living rm where you'll notice the hand-stenciled wall detail, large picture window, the stunning original coal burning fireplace w/decorative red oak mantelpiece & glazed porcelain tile surround. Wander around to the formal dining room w/built-in china cabinet, plate rail, original Lincrusta wallpaper, gorgeous diamond lattice windows -- several of this style window can be found throughout the home -- this makes for a beautiful setting for dinner parties and Holiday gatherings! The kitchen will totally impress you with a beautiful mix of new and old - updated granite counters, shaker style cabinetry, all stainless steel appliances including custom range hood, 36" Fisher Paykel 6-burner range, Bosch dishwasher, fireclay porcelain Farmhouse sink and Semco double-hung windows. Original cabinetry was utilized for the kitchen island, and the original wall pantry remain - so much storage! Don't miss the pot-filler & veggie prep sink!! All this opens to an ample sized eating area, perfect for morning breakfasts & daily dinners. What would a home be these days without a private office, or a main floor family room, OR a main floor powder room? Not to fret - it's all here! Upstairs brings more surprises with two full expertly updated baths, the largest bath boasting a super sharp marble-tiled shower, salvaged x-large cast iron tub & antique pedestal sink. The 2nd full bath has a newer cast iron tub, repurposed possum belly sink cabinet, newer tin ceiling - charming! All bedrooms are good sized, the primary bedroom a spacious 16 x 15 with detailed front window. This home has all hardwood floors, recently refinished, the main floor featuring mainly quarter-sawn Golden oak with maple in kitchen & Heart pine in office & family room. Upstairs has Heart pine & maple, and most of the trim is red oak. Light fixtures were sourced to be as originals, radiators were removed, sandblasted & repainted (look at the detail on them!), front porch rebuilt as historically accurate. Other updates include: Boiler, 1 yr., thermal storm windows all around 5-6 yrs., 200 amp electric w/newer main breaker & 42 circuit panel, over-sized gutters/downspouts 8 yrs, most plumbing newer, new chimney liner & chimney rebuilt from roof & up, concrete drive w/stamped border, gate, brick paver patio, privacy fence, rear retaining wall 1-2 yrs., Carriage-style garage door. 4 zoned heating keeps utility bills reasonable (gas $148/month avg, electric $69/month avg). Rear yard is fully fenced for privacy & backs to Park District owned open spaces! Close to Lake Michigan, Genesee Theatre, the new CLC Lakeshore Campus, local parks and golf courses. These "Old House" owners lovingly de-converted this home from a sad-looking 2 flat to the gorgeous home it is today - Be the next to own it and love it as they have!
