This is the perfect family house or home/work space that will take very little to become a palatial and enchanting classic home not far from downtown. The quaint, tree-lined neighborhood is reached through an arched, locked gate and the townhouses surround a lovely central park with ancient trees and flowering shrubs. The home also has an antique, iron gate as its private entrance. The front door is reached through the parking area, that also boasts a small, yet beautiful garden. Once inside, you'll find a large open concept living, dining, and sunken family room that makes this a perfect place for entertaining friends and family. The kitchen is located off of the dining area, which leads to the laundry room and to a large outdoor sunroom. There is also a social/guest bathroom on the first floor. Ascending up a beautiful flight of hardwood stairs is a landing where a TV room or sitting area could be created. Also on the second floor are three bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The en-suite primary is beautiful with incredible wooden built-ins, mirrors, and storage areas that make you feel as if you've stepped back in time ... in the best possible way. The woodworking continues in the other 2 bedrooms; one en-suite and the other with a shared bathroom. One bedroom has a walk-in closet. There are also attractive hallways filled with more storage space and wooden built-ins. Up another, one-of-a-kind circular wooden staircase you'll find a very large attic, loft space currently being used as an office. This spacious area is alluring with slanted wooden ceilings and tons of space to keep as an office, make into a large guest room, or create an at home gym, a yoga studio or an art space.
