This unique 5+ bedroom home, on 1.5 private acres, offers a huge sunroom/solarium facing the expansive yard. The large eat-in kitchen features a woodstove, stainless appliances, granite counters and plenty of room for an island. There's two rooms off the kitchen, which can as an office, extra bedroom, or craft room. The larger room has an attached full bath, making it a great option as a main-level primary bedroom. Garage access is only a few steps away from the kitchen. The cozy living room has a pellet stove. Bedrooms are on different levels, offering easy multi-generational or home office living arrangements. Off the primary bedroom is a Juliet balcony and another bedroom that could be used as a huge walk-in closet or turned into a primary bathroom. The room on the top floor could make a wonderful studio, remote office or exercise space. Newer improvements include a brand new Peerless boiler, plus updated kitchen, windows, and bathrooms. The south-oriented solarium is 24' long, with 9' high ceilings and is a multi-seasonal room unto itself. It opens directly off the kitchen and it can be used as a porch, extra living/dining space, or gathering room. Its uses are endless. It is an original Lord and Burnham glass greenhouse/solarium designed to be functional and elegant. The home used to be part of a plant nursery. This home is close to schools, parks, downtown, and is in an attractive, lively and fun neighborhood. A large flower garden with stone paths and arbor sets the scene for a gardener's paradise. The yard and setting will appeal to nature lovers as well with its songbirds and owls, and enchanting firefly-filled nights under the stars in the summer. There was an in-ground pool many years ago just beyond the large brick patio - see the attached map.
