About this home

They don't make them like they used to…This stately brick center entrance colonial is situated a stone’s throw from the Mystic Lakes. The slate roof and copper gutters exemplify the finely crafted 1920’s details prevalent throughout the home. Walk through the grand front door, into the foyer defined by a dramatic staircase open to the 2nd floor. To the right, you’ll find a formal dining room with coffered ceilings, a granite kitchen with cherry cabinets, and an enclosed porch. To the left, there is a large living room anchored by a classic brick fireplace and a peaceful sunroom. A casual breakfast nook that leads to the brick patio, laundry/mudroom, and ½ bath round out the 1st floor. The 2nd floor is home to 4 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with classic white tile. The top floor has 2 more bedrooms and a 3rd bathroom. Exceptional details include virgin gumwood moldings, prairie doors, oak floors. Modern upgrades: A/C, Harvey wood windows, sprinkler system. Long driveway w/ garage.
