The kind of front porch that makes you want to pull up a chair & stay awhile is just the beginning of what makes this Arcanum home so special. Behind that beautiful curved porch & distinctive 2-story exterior, you'll find 2,150 sq ft filled w/ original architectural character, thoughtfully executed updates & care that's evident throughout. The beautiful staircase, substantial woodwork & openings framed by decorative columns give the main floor a sense of history, while the curved front room is surrounded by windows that flood the space w/ natural light. Beyond, the generously sized living room offers an electric fireplace & room to get comfortable, while the formal dining room, w/ its own beautiful bay window, is ready for weeknight dinners or a table full of guests. The kitchen beautifully blends modern finishes w/ the character of the original house. Crisp white cabinetry, sleek countertops, a herringbone tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances & a butcher-block island w/ seating create a space that's as functional as it is attractive. A 1/2 bath rounds out the main floor. The 2nd floor has a few surprises of its own, including 3 bedrooms & a primary bedroom w/ a walk-in closet that's practically another room! Another bedroom features a charming vaulted ceiling w/ exposed wood beams, while the updated full bath offers a granite-topped double vanity & tiled walk-in shower w/ glass enclosure. Dedicated upstairs laundry adds everyday convenience. Outside, the backyard is every bit as inviting as the interior. Enclosed by a wood privacy fence, you'll find a large concrete patio w/ room for multiple seating areas, a raised deck, mature trees, storage shed & a dedicated play area. Picture evenings under the string lights, afternoons on the front porch or friends gathered around the kitchen island. Beautifully maintained, tastefully updated & full of the architectural details that give older homes their charm, this is a property that feels just as good as it looks.
