HISTORIC HOME IN THE HEART OF ROSEMONT! Located a ten-minute walk from the King Street Metro and Old Town, this one of a kind stately home beckons family and friends with a commanding exterior and “America’s Best Porch”, a welcoming area with a porch swing and plenty of space for additional seating - all surrounded by 100-year-old Ionic style columns. Classic colonial with a large center hall, this home retains its historic features while also reflecting modern and stylish sophistication. Exceptionally large rooms with high ceilings, crown moldings, hardwood floors, fresh paint, and new fixtures, along with a versatile layout, provide plenty of opportunities to entertain family and friends during holidays and all year round. Living and dining rooms both have gas fireplaces that will cast a calm fireside glow in the colder months and are framed by original mantels with intricate designs. Enchanting pocket doors separate the living room from the library/music room that could also function as a family room. Custom built-in bookcases and cabinets line one wall offering plenty of storage space. A half bath is located off the center hall.
