With the ideal blend of old and new, this incredible 6 bedroom, 3.5 bath Italianate masterpiece has both an amazing history and an amazing future as your new address! This home is set back from the street just far enough to show off the 1.46 acre corner lot with its asphalt circle driveway and 38' long open front porch on which you can spend afternoons on the porch swing comfortably watching the world pass by. When you enter the grand foyer with its curved staircase you will find the newly refinished hardwood floors throughout most of home, new carpet upstairs and on both staircases, new windows installed in 2020, new interior paint in tasteful colors in each room, and stunning crown molding and woodwork that you won't find in a new home. You can relax in peace knowing that you will have a radon mitigation system as well as a $10, 000 water filtration system as well as an upgraded heating system (installed in 2023) with SensiSmart thermostat. Two central air units allow for individual temperature choices between the 1st and second floors and the 200 amp electrical service with updated wiring will put your mind at ease. All bathrooms have been updated in the last 10 years and the main floor master bedroom features both a walk in closet and it's own master bath in the end suite. The updated kitchen includes a wet bar for coffee or your favorite drinks, granite countertops, a Jenn-Air range and additional stainless steel appliances as well as two separate eating areas and an attached main floor laundry room with a ton of storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large enclosed porch idea for you to spend an afternoon with a glass of tea and a good friend. Multiple living spaces allow space for the three spectacularly ornate fireplaces that will be just perfect to curl up in front of on chilly evenings. Upstairs you'll find a library nook as well as an adorable sunroom that would be a perfect office space or bonus room of many sorts. The two car attached garage is easily accessible and only a short distance away is an additional garden shed for all the extras.
