Property Description

This stunning and immaculately kept 4 Bed / 2 Bath Craftsman Bungalow home blends historic charm with modern versatility on a flat, usable, over half-acre lot in the heart of Roxborough with an oversized 2-car detached garage! The unique layout of this home offers incredible potential for a duplex conversion or multigenerational living. A gorgeous two-tone paver walkway guides you toward the bluestone slate stairs, leading into a massive, freshly painted sunroom. This inviting space is flooded in natural light and features newer windows, a beadboard ceiling, and durable wood-style vinyl flooring. Enter the home through an original beveled glass door with elegant leaded sidelight windows that open into a classic and welcoming vestibule. The main level boasts original pine floors throughout and elegant five-panel maple doors with original hardware. The spacious and bright formal living room offers a warm atmosphere featuring a wood-burning fireplace insert with a stone mantle and brick surround, which provides supplemental heat to much of the home. The dining room is large enough to accommodate all of your entertaining needs. The eat-in kitchen features solid 42-inch maple cabinetry with crown molding, under-cabinet lighting, granite countertops, a custom reclaimed wood enclosure for the refrigerator, ceramic tile floor, and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances - including a gas range, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. There are two bedrooms on the main floor - including a primary suite featuring a large walk-in closet with built-in shelving and a second bedroom in the rear of the home, both with ceiling fans. Completing the first floor is a full bathroom featuring a cast-iron tub, a newer vanity, bead-board wainscoting, and ceramic dark grey flooring. A side entrance vestibule provides convenient and separate access to the second floor, which functions as an additional complete living space. This level includes an additional sun-drenched living room, a full eat-in kitchen with a stove and refrigerator, a dedicated storage room, and a second full bathroom with a linen closet. The two upstairs bedrooms are generously sized - one features an alcove and double closets, while the other includes a large closet and an armoire with a clever built-in Murphy bed! The walk-out unfinished basement is huge with parged and painted walls, an excess of lighting, plenty of clean storage space, and is where the laundry area is located. Exit to the rear of the home from the kitchen and you will find a recently installed fully composite deck with black balusters. A perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking a massive and private backyard space - which is so unique to this area. The backyard features a large garden area, storage shed, and a massive two-car garage with a full walk-up second story (great for a workshop or car enthusiast) - in addition to 8 driveway spaces! With replacement windows throughout, newer central air conditioning, and a freshly painted interior, this home is a rare find! Don’t miss a chance to see this home, schedule your showing today!
