Classic two story, turn-of-the-century home will help you imagine an era of years gone by while still having modern conveniences. The artistry of the woodwork alone can hardly be afforded in this time. Let your eyes carefully see past the time worn condition which can be brought back to its original splendor. Tucked away yet right in the city in the West Bluff. Be met by the spacious enclosed front porch and step in to an original tiled entry and foyer with staircase and columns to living areas. Gotta love the pocket doors to the dining room, built-ins and crown moldings. The kitchen has a good head start in remodeling with newer cabinets and counter. Have lots of kitchen and entertaining gadgets? You will fall in "need" of the butler's pantry! Take your pick of where to do the laundry, on the main floor or basement. Such a cool house to explore. There is some architectural interest on every floor and in every room. Find details on the upper floor too. Be sure to note the transom windows, glass door knobs and original bathroom finishings. There's a secret retreat sitting/sun room in the primary bedroom. An unfinished walk-up attic can be additional storage. A finished basement with separate exterior entrance features family room with fireplace; wine cellar/storage; office; kitchenette; bathroom and workshop/mechanical room. 2 story barn is great for parking/storage and is accessible via pull through driveway to alley. Say hello to your new home and Love Where You Live!
