About This Home
As of June 2023This iconic brick home on the Plainfield corridor of the highly-sought after Riverside Gardens neighborhood is on the market for the first time in over 40 years. This two-story home has long garnered attention for its nearly maintenance free exterior, impeccable landscaping and attached two-stall garage off tree-lined Aberdeen street. The 1920's home has been beautifully maintained, yet much of its original charm has been preserved, including wooden doors with original knobs, crown molding, beautiful light fixtures, and arched openings. Flooded with natural light due to large, updated triple-pane windows, the freshly painted living, dining and kitchen areas flow nicely through the main floor. A butlers' station in the kitchen adds counter space, storage and charm adjacent to a half bath. The spacious living room includes access to a large, brick front porch as well as a breezeway with potential to be used as a mudroom. A wood-burning fireplace and lit mantle complete the regal ambience of the main floor. Just up the stairs, a large master bedroom overlooks the driveway, with walkout balcony, large sitting area, and full private bathroom attached. Includes access staircase to the garage that can be reopened. Continue up the stairs for three more bedrooms, each with plenty of storage space, as well as another full bathroom with a sitz tub. One of the bedrooms is double sized and offers a walk-in closet with an attached cedar closet. Access the large attic space through one of the bedrooms, which has great potential to be finished for more living space, a studio, or home office. The large open basement has tall ceilings and has been freshly painted. You will notice 2 extra rooms adjacent in the basement for extra storage and shelter. The entire home has been meticulously maintained, including charming floating bathroom sinks, beautiful woodwork, hardwood flooring throughout and plenty of built in storage. Original clothes chutes offer old time convenience. Don't miss this beautiful, charming, updated time-capsule in the desirable Cheshire neighborhood. Walking distance to parks, restaurants and much more. All appliances included. Immediate possession.
