Remarks: Enjoy this gorgeous historic home in Lakeside Park! This 1912 Craftsman has been updated to enhance all the character, details & quality craftsmanship you can't find in today's homes while giving you the modern updates you'd expect. Step into the spacious enclosed front porch to be welcomed by the original door with ironwork hinges and beautiful porch lights made of wood and stained glass. Step into the massive living room, large enough for two separate seating areas, that boasts amazing original windows and hardwood floors, wood-beamed ceilings and a marble wood burning fireplace. The entrance to the dining room from the living room has pocket doors adorn with stained glass. The large dining room has amazing built-ins, a coffered ceiling, magnificent crystal chandelier and room for a table seating upwards of 10 people. The kitchen features a patterned tile floor, granite countertops, a large single basin granite composite sink, large pantry, ample shelving and a tile backsplash that extends to the ceiling around the double window over the sink. To the back of the kitchen is a mud-room for coats & shoes. Upstairs, find 3 large bedrooms that all feature walk-in closets with windows, a trunk room that can be used for storage or as a kid's playroom, and a bathroom with a clawfoot tub, double vanity with marble top, built in medicine cabinet and lots of style! The original doors are complete with large crystal doorknobs and skeleton locks. The basement offers plenty of storage with room for a workshop or can be finished off for more living space. Outside, the backyard has a privacy fence to the back of the property and East, providing a private setting for outdoor entertaining. An early ripening Apple Tree and Peach tree that both bear good fruit sit to the back of the property next to the charming detached two car garage. In the warmer months you'll find strawberries growing throughout the landscaping. The home is in an outstanding location, included in the National Historic District, and is on the upswing! It sits on a quiet one-way street with alley access in the rear and very friendly neighbors to both sides. The River Greenway is just across the street, with views of the river from the front bedroom. This home is very close to Lakeside Park & Rose Garden, Parkview Field, the Historic Embassy Theatre, plenty of downtown restaurants. Newly poured concrete driveway.
