A great American home! - It is your turn to write a chapter in the history of this magnificent University Park home. This majestic, brick and slate Colonial-style home was custom-built in 1941 and features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a wood-burning fireplace, an expansive kitchen, study with built-ins, enormous family room, screened porch, large terrace, two car garage and ample storage space. The sun-filled, large-scale rooms have exquisite classically proportioned trim details such as crown molding, chair rails and compound base board. Most of the house is freshly painted, the original oak floors sparkle and light pours through the beautifully maintained windows.
A flagstone walkway leads through the tastefully landscaped lawn to the stately covered, rounded portico with white, Doric columns and decorative railing. The classic, quality craftsmanship of yesterday stands out on the home’s warm brick exterior, slate roof and operable wood shutters.
As you step through the traditional six-panel door, flanked by sidelights, you're greeted by a beautiful foyer with gleaming white marble floors. Your eyes are drawn to the exquisite stairs with the rich curving wood banister, steps adorned with intricate scrollwork and rounded spindles.
To the right, a cozy study awaits, with floor to ceiling built-ins and a private powder room. To the left is the spacious living room with recessed lights, and a magnificent wood-burning fireplace adorned with a decorative mantle. A door from the living room leads out to a delightful screen porch, complete with a picturesque porch swing.
The dining room is large and central to the living space. With beautiful French doors opening into what might just become your favorite room in the house--the family room--a sunny, versatile space perfect for relaxation or gathering with friends and family.
Venturing into the kitchen, you discover an entertainer's paradise. The kitchen boasts generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, and a charming bay window overlooking the backyard, complete with a cozy window seat—a perfect spot to soak in the views. Another set of glass French doors lead out to the terrace, where a barbecue grill and benches await, creating an elevated area ideal for hosting gatherings.
On the upper level, you're greeted by a comfortably sized landing. To your left lies the expansive primary bedroom, featuring access to a side balcony. There are three closets, including a linen closet and an adjoining full bathroom.
Continuing down the hall, you find two additional bedrooms, each adorned with gorgeous oak floors and offering ample closet space. A shared Jack and Jill bathroom features charming peach tile accents and a convenient shower.
The attic is a cozy retreat with plush carpeting and three expansive skylights flooding the space with natural light. This versatile area could serve as an enormous bedroom, delightful children's playroom or home office.
On the basement level there is a bright, freshly painted utility room with a washer and dryer, built-in shelving and a tremendous amount of room for storage. Adjacent to this room is the two-car garage with automatic door openers. The utility room houses state-of-the-art HVAC and water heating equipment.
The basement holds a completely separate in-law or au pair suite, boasting its own private entrance, kitchen, and full bathroom. Two large closets and exterior access provide comfort and privacy, making this suite an ideal living space for guests or family members seeking independence.
This home has been lovingly maintained through the years and features many comfortable upgrades. The heating and cooling is zoned for precise comfort in each area of the house. The recently installed, high-efficiency Navien tankless water heater provides warm water to all the faucets and feeds the cozy radiator system. An Ergomax heat exchanger provides additional heat and cooling. The newer Carrier AC unit keeps the house comfortably cool in the summer. There are two main electrical panels providing 300 Amps to the house. In addition to a fresh coat of paint on most walls, the current owners updated the recessed lights to modern LED fixtures in the foyer, living room and dining room. There is a newly installed drywall ceiling in the family room, new switch/receptacle plates in many rooms and a new damper and chimney cap.
Lovers of outdoor living will appreciate that this house is perched up on a 1/4 acre of land with pretty landscaping and lovely terracing. The back yard is fully fenced. Enjoy the outdoors from the screened porch off the living room or the large, private balcony off of the primary suite. You and your guest will love the elevated patio with a BBQ grill and built-in seating conveniently located directly off the kitchen.
