Step into the charm of yesteryear with this 1886 Queen Anne Victorian home. Offering 6 bedrooms with a potential 7th or bonus room, along with 3 and a half baths, this home seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern comforts. Features include modern bathrooms, main level laundry room, a butler's pantry, a rear staircase, updated electric, dual zone heating and air conditioning and a new roof. It’s the iconic architecture, the gable roof, scalloped siding and asymmetrical rear of the home and bay windows that make 420 Roosevelt Avenue the epitome of Victorian architecture. The curb appeal is unlike any traditional home built today. There is a long lead walk to the front door that leads you to a 6’ x 15’ porch that takes you in through double doors into a 9 x6 vestibule that leads to a second set of double doors leading into a sprawling foyer with a 20’ high two-story ceiling. The herringbone hardwood floors throughout, the wood stairs with a monkey tail railing, trimmed windows & doorways with rosettes and the radius trim detail and arches will have you realizing you just walked back into a bygone era when the term cookie cutter home did not exist. Imagine the cost to build a home like this today? The main level has 10-foot ceilings and features a spacious family room with bay windows, a library adorned with built-in shelves and a Franklin wood stove with gas logs. A generously sized dining area offers flexibility, with a a large box bay window and a niche perfect for a buffet or hutch, or the option to embrace the modern open shelf concept. Completing the main level is a Butler’s pantry, powder room, and a conveniently located laundry area adjacent to the kitchen. The kitchen features plenty of wood cabinets, drawers and counter space for the chef who loves to entertain, double wall oven, smooth top electric cooktop, dishwasher, real butcher block countertops that have built-in shelves and built-in cutting boards that pull out and slide back for convenience. The brick tiled kitchen plays homage to the Victorian style, as well as the rear staircase that leads to the second floor that also has 10’ ceilings. This level has four bedrooms and two full baths. These generously proportioned bedrooms have solid hardwood floors, walk-in closets with built-in chest of drawers, and big, beautiful windows. The third level features new carpet, two nice sized bedrooms, one of which has a bonus room off of it that could be a 7th bedroom, an office or playroom with a walk-in closet with built in chest of drawers and a full bath with a claw foot tub. Step outside to discover a fully fenced backyard, thoughtfully landscaped for privacy, with additional space for activities like volleyball, cornhole or even a swimming pool. A charming brick gazebo awaits just off the patio, complete with slate floors, a ceiling fan, and electricity. For added convenience, a detached oversized one-car garage is equipped with hot and cold water, a sink, and a shower, -great for pet washing, alongside a greenhouse/potting shed. Outside the fence, a dedicated parking pad accommodates an additional vehicle. You will love the convenience of the location with just 4 minutes to downtown York where you will find a plethora of quaint restaurants, bars and breweries, arts and entertainment as well as a minor league baseball stadium. 9 minutes to Box stores like Wal-Mart, BJs and Target, Kohls, Home Goods etc., less than 10 minutes to Country Club of York, Regents Glen and the NCR walking bike trail. ATTENTION: Offers have been received and the Seller has established a deadline for Monday, 3/25 @ 6PM.
