Property Description
Spacious, corner single family home on quiet, tree-lined University City block. Incredible light from all four exposures along with raised gardens above the street for maximum privacy. Multi-car parking and outdoor space--situated on an oversized lot. Beautiful character and hardwood floors. 4-6 bedrooms; 3 full baths; 3 half baths; a sunroom; several family rooms, offices, or flex rooms; and a large finished lower level. Garage plus 3-5 car secure driveway parking. This pristinely maintained home offers so many options for modern living. The current owners used it as premier live-work space, with offices and flexible living space on the 1st floor. An elevator connects the 1st floor with the superb finished lower level and garage/parking. The 2nd floor offers the kitchen and open living and dining area. The full primary suite, excellent storage, full-size washer/dryer, and another full bath. The third floor offers three more bedrooms and a full bath. Perfect flexible space for a work-from-home family configured as is.

If desired, add a kitchen for a fully contained first floor living suite. Perfect for multi-generational families or any flexible living arrangements to meet your exact needs. Make any changes you desire and still retain space for live-work or any flexible needs. This home has been lovingly cared for by long-term owner occupants. All electric rewired and modern.
