Original wood trim, 9-ft ceilings; every room speaks of an era that cannot be replicated.Nestled in the desirable Lakeside neighborhood, this home offers great bones & plenty of opportunity to make it your own.Located on a quiet street with mature trees; this rare 1.08-acre lot has room to bring your own vision or simply enjoy its bird sanctuary-like qualities. The front yard blooms with established plantings needing only seasonal TLC to be the showpiece of the block; including a unique 4-in-1 fruit tree (2 peach, nectarine & plum grafted in one), a pear tree, blueberry bushes & a pomegranate.The main level greets you with refinished hardwood floors, original wood panel doors & character-rich trim: in the tradition of Arts & Crafts design. A classic coal burning fireplace anchors the living space; 9-ft ceilings & transoms lend an airy, gracious quality. The Front enclosed sunroom, bathed in natural light, through refreshed original windows, makes a perfect retreat or reading nook, (currently used as an office) while the rear Den room offers versatile space for an office or studio. Two generous bedrooms; one with the built-in closet of your dreams, the other has an en-suite half bath.
