Do you appreciate the unmistakable character and solid quality of a historic century home? Located in the prestigious Mentor Avenue National Historic District of downtown Painesville, this updated, well cared for home was built by Lake County known architect Jonathan Goldsmith and sits on nearly half an acre. Literally travel down a brick road to this lovely 2 bedroom, two bath room home, featuring a first floor study with solid wood built-ins that could be repurposed as a first floor bedroom if desired. Do you enjoy entertaining? This large home's main floor offers a spacious living room with wood burning fireplace, an adjacent pretty sunroom to relax in while overlooking the private backyard. The well designed, eat-in kitchen boasts stainless appliances, a farmhouse sink, a walk in butlers pantry, and is adjacent to the formal dining room that exits onto your cozy covered front porch. A first floor powder room is convenient for guests and you will love the oversized laundry/mudroom conveniently located to the rear of the home on the main floor. Boasting lots of natural light, plenty of built in storage and a convenient rear exit, no more traveling down to the basement to do your laundry. Head upstairs to a large primary bedroom with cedar lined closet, and a second ample bedroom. Your updated full bath features a jetted, soaking tub, a ceramic tile lined shower and full vanity. The wide plank hardwood floors throughout lend an air of gracefully aged character not found in modern construction today. Downstairs, the full, bright basement has a walkup exit to the rear yard and plenty of room for year round storage. This home has had many updates over the years and was just freshly painted throughout. Seller is also offering a full one year home warranty for your peace of mind. Did we mention you can walk to the festivals and events on the city square? Just bring your belongings and move in to this beautiful piece of Ohio history. Call to tour today.
