Property Description
This spacious twin in a great Cobbs Creek location is chock-full of original charm, including tons of unpainted millwork. Enter beyond a sweet raised-bed garden into an enclosed porch with bay window, which opens to the vestibule with original glass doors, tile and wainscoting. The spacious living room features a leaded glass front window, original decorative fireplace and a simply gorgeous turned staircase with built-in bench across from another leaded glass window. Original oak parquet floors with walnut inlay stretch through to the large formal dining room with a bank of oversized windows and enough space for a massive table. The eat-in kitchen with a sweet original recessed wall cabinet has been updated with white subway tile backsplash, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances including a GE five-burner range with griddle and Whirlpool fridge, and solid wood cabinets that have been given a fresh gray on bottom/white on top palette. Out back there’s a generous porch with steps down to the yard. The upstairs with original pine floors, unpainted doors and recessed lighting has four uber-charming bedrooms. The largest two are at either end of the hall–one with a bay window and the other with a pair of closets with unpainted original mirrored doors flanking a double set of windows. The two middle bedrooms each have original mirrored closet doors and are nicely sized in their own right; one with a lovely set of triple windows which connects to the rear bedroom. They share a sunny ceramic tile hall bath with subway tub surround, a niche for additional storage tucked behind the bath, and a storage vanity. The full-length finished basement with half bath offers an incredible opportunity for additional living space. It is currently decked out with soundproofing in both the main room and dedicated recording studio, with a separate laundry room with Bilco doors to the back yard. Big-ticket items like the roof, water line and most of the windows have all been taken care of. This wide, tree-lined block dotted with beautiful front gardens is a particularly special stretch of Washington Ave and is convenient to Christy Rec Center (with pool), green space galore at Cobbs Creek Park, and the Baltimore Ave trolley and shopping center.
