This charming traditional stone home offers a warm welcome from the moment you arrive on its lovely one-block street in Penn Wynne. The front lawn, with mature plantings add beauty and privacy, creating an inviting setting for relaxing on the covered porch. A stone gateway and pathway run along the left side of the home, providing convenient access to the kitchen and basement entrances, the garage, and the shared rear alley.
Step through the original arched front doorway into a spacious, sun-filled living room with parquet hardwood floors and a high ceiling. A brick and stone fireplace with a mantel creates a welcoming focal point, while a cozy bay-window nook offers the perfect place to settle in with a favorite book. A striking Palladian window at the base of the steps and French doors opening to the covered front porch fill the room with natural light, giving the home a bright and cheerful feel even on rainy days.
The parquet floors flow through an arched opening into a gracious dining room with plenty of space to host six to eight guests for a formal dinner. A lovely arched wall inset provides an elegant backdrop for artwork and a favorite sideboard, with room for linens and serving pieces. Thoughtful details include a generously sized coat closet, chair rail, built-in display shelves, and additional storage.
Bright and welcoming, the galley kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and counter space, along with a five-burner range and oven, built-in microwave, dishwasher, tiled countertop, and backsplash. At one end, a door opens to the side entrance and porch, where stairs lead to the full basement. Extending the length of the home, the basement provides generous storage and houses a Weil-McLain boiler, Bradford White water heater, laundry sink, toilet, and newer 200-amp electrical service. At the opposite end of the kitchen, a cozy breakfast nook sits alongside a full-size washer and dryer and a full bathroom. Another door opens to a pantry and provides interior access to the one-car garage, which offers additional storage and an automatic door opener at the top of the stairs.
To the left of the living room, a wide oak staircase leads to the second floor, where original oak hardwood floors add warmth and character. At the top of the stairs is a charming hall bathroom that retains many original details, including an arched tub-and-shower alcove with an overhead showerhead and handheld sprayer, original marble walls, and original slate flooring. A newer vanity adds a fresh touch, while a separate water closet also opens to the main bedroom.
The spacious, light-filled main bedroom features a walk-in closet, and two additional bedrooms complete the second floor. An attic, currently accessible only through a hatch in the main bedroom closet, offers exciting potential for abundant additional storage; neighboring homes have added pull-down stairs to make the space easier to reach.
A shared rear alley provides easy access to the garage, with the option to park either inside or directly behind it.
This lovely neighborhood is convenient to shops, restaurants, parks, the local Y, public transit and walking distance to the local elementary school.
