Pride of ownership abounds in this truly enchanting home, where more than $75,000 in thoughtful upgrades blend seamlessly with its amazing, whimsical, Gingerbread house-like architecture. A nod to French Baroque design, this residence captivates from the start with its real stone-encased front entryway, scalloped interior archways, and charming original details throughout-including an exquisite built-in china cabinet in the dining room and a beautifully tiled fireplace accented by built-in shelves that anchors the living space with character and warmth. Recent improvements elevate both comfort and peace of mind: a brand-new second-floor bathroom, electric fireplace insert with remote control, new stainless steel oven and refrigerator, new back door with integrated shade and transom window, new side entry door, basement waterproofing, including French drain and sump pump, new water heater, chimney work, a new fence, new garage door openers, and more. The bone-dry basement offers washer/dryer hookups, and the existing washer and dryer can convey for added convenience. Outside, you'll find a detached 2-car garage with alley entrance, providing excellent functionality and additional privacy. Situated in a desirable south side location near Nationwide Children's Hospital, dining, shopping, and convenient freeway access, this home offers an unforgettable blend of charm, craftsmanship, modern upgrades, and practical amenities-truly a rare find.
