About This Home
As of August 2017Welcome to centrally located Cool Springs! Just steps away are Little Italy, Trolley Square & Downtown! Although built at the turn of the century, this home offers some of today's most desirable amenities and modern upgrades. Come home to an inviting and spacious front porch. Open the front door and enter through the vestibule to an airy & spacious layout with both dining and living rooms in one large open concept space. Your eyes will instantly drawn to gleaming red pine floors (original to home), two decorative mantles, custom wainscoting, central air, recessed lighting w/ dimmers, and exposed red brick. Here you'll also see a large and ornate Bannister leading upstairs which features not one, but two closet spaces for storage. Pass the dining area and enter the kitchen, which has been masterfully renovated with stainless steel appliances and a butcher block island creating an inviting and handy U-shaped layout. Behind the kitchen you'll also find a butler's staircase, and another room with flexible use such as small dining area, home office, exercise room, etc. Adjacent to this is a full bath and mudroom area leading to the private cozy backyard. Make your way upstairs to the second floor where you'll find a master suite: walk-in closet/dressing room (with laundry inside!!!). A jack and jill bathroom connects to the main hall which leads to two more spacious bedrooms. Make your way to the third floor which has been created into an open concept studio space (floors currently being refinished). Originally two bedrooms, this space offers plenty of square footage, making it ideal for an upstairs den/theater room, home office or massive playroom! If you're looking for a unique home with character, today's modern conveniences, and an opportunity to put your personal touches on - then this is it! Make this lovingly maintained home yours today! ***Ask about Special Financing through M&T Bank now offering buyers closing cost assistance and more.
