Description
Welcome to this classic 1923 British Georgian, ideally located just two blocks from Lighthouse Beach and an adjoining park. This gracious home combines timeless architectural character and beautiful craftsmanship with thoughtful updates and modern conveniences. From the moment you enter the home, its generous proportions and distinctive details are immediately apparent. The inviting living room offers space for multiple seating areas and features a charming decorative fireplace and beautiful bay window that fills the room with natural light. The elegant dining room is highlighted by rich, solid-walnut wainscoting and an antique brass light fixture, creating a warm and sophisticated setting for both everyday meals and entertaining. The heart of the home is a fully renovated kitchen with family-room addition, designed with an emphasis on quality, functionality, and comfortable everyday living. The kitchen features custom solid-walnut cabinetry, beautiful granite countertops, a center island, updated appliances, radiant-floor heating, and space for a casual dining table. The adjoining family room addition flows seamlessly from the kitchen, creating a spacious and welcoming great room ideal for everyday living, entertaining, and gathering with family and friends. A first-floor sunroom offers wonderful flexibility and could serve as a home office, library, reading room, or quiet retreat. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features excellent closet space and a private renovated ensuite bath, including radiant-floor heating. Two additional bedrooms, a tandem room, and a second full bathroom complete the second floor, providing ample space for family, guests, or a variety of additional uses. The lower level provides even more living and recreation space, including a large family room with a distinctive bay wall that makes it especially well-suited for a media room, game room, casual gathering space, fitness area, or playroom. The unfinished basement offers substantial storage areas and a laundry area. Numerous thoughtful improvements have been made over the years, including 200-amp electrical service, updated plumbing, and a two-zone SpacePak air-conditioning system. A front drive provides convenient off-street parking, while the private rear yard features a garden and deck for outdoor enjoyment. Though the garage was originally built to accommodate two cars, the current configuration has a one- car overhead door but can be modified to add a second door. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully improved vintage home in an exceptional location - just moments from the lakefront, Lighthouse Beach and adjoining park, elementary school, hospital, and all that this desirable neighborhood has to offer.
