Constructed in the early 1900's and situated on a tree lined street in the historic Wilson's Farm section of the Westside neighborhood, this attractive three bedroom, two-and-half bath Queen Anne style home with four fireplaces has undergone significant enhancements and renovations in recent years. Enter via a wrought iron gate to a fully landscaped and fenced front yard. Walk up to the elevated first floor onto a full front covered piazza where you will note the gracious space for enjoying morning coffee and entertaining in the evening. As you enter the home, the grand foyer is eye catching with historic details in each direction. A staircase with original balusters and trim, high ceilings, and original wood floors all welcome you to a home that is truly grand in style.To the immediate left is the formal living room, with original bi-fold, true divided glass doors and original fireplace with mantle and tile detail. This room is filled with natural light from multiple windows including the attractive bay windows overlooking the park, playground and Green Heart community garden across the street. Enter the dining room through a second set of original glass bi-fold doors. The dining room includes a second original fireplace and open views through the windows and the first of two entries onto a screened back porch and privacy fenced backyard. Pass through a doorway, noting the glass transom detail above, into the eat-in kitchen, which is an open flow concept with wood cabinets, slate flooring, bar counter, stainless appliances and numerous custom elements including butcher block center island, floating shelving and banquet seating area. The kitchen opens to the screened porch as well, creating a perfect social flow connecting kitchen, porch and dining room. Finishing out the downstairs is a guest powder room located just under the stairs. On the second floor, there are three large bedrooms and two full baths. The light filled master suite encompasses the entire front of the home and features his and her closets, fireplace and a private bath with original floor and wall tile. The second and third bedrooms share a gorgeous bathroom complete with double sinks, soaking tub and glass enclosed shower. This bathroom also hosts the convenient washer/dryer laundry station with ample storage. From the back bedroom, there are stairs leading to a substantial third floor, which the current owners use as a fourth bedroom and office. This room has vaulted ceilings, window seats and ample closet storage. Plumbing lines were roughed into this floor during renovations, enabling future addition of a third full bath. The exposed brick chimneys from the home's four fireplaces add charm and character to this quiet retreat. Returning to the exterior, the sophisticated, stately appeal of an elevated foundation provides for full walk-under storage, preserving the ample backyard space for family fun. The backyard is an excellent size with space for a future pool and perfect for entertaining. The yard is private, with a 12-foot ivy covered wall and wood privacy fence surrounding a well landscaped grass lawn with mature plantings. Enjoy off street parking with room for two vehicles and a golf cart. The current owners undertook extensive renovations over the past five years including brand new shingle roof, siding replacement, exterior painting, roof resealing and repainting, replacing two HVAC systems and mini split, addition of screened porch, addition of second full bathroom and laundry area, interior painting/wall coverings, dry wall repair, custom interior/exterior gates and an addition of numerous custom touches. While the home is located in an AE flood zone, flood insurance is minimal as the home is above the FEMA flood line and flood vents have been installed.
