Step into an extraordinary 4/5 bedroom, 3.5 bath center hall colonial that transcends expectations. This (near) century home boasts timeless wood floors, crown molding & built-ins synonymous with classic charm; what sets it apart is a series of meticulous upgrades & expansions that elevate its appeal. A 2017 recipient of the “Most Innovative Kitchen” Award from the National Kitchen & Bath Association, honored with Shaker's 2018 Preservation Award & featured in the Fall 2016 edition of “Shaker Life" magazine, this home has undergone a multi-stage renovation by Karlovec & Co.. Phase I (2016) focused on the 1st floor, lower level rec room & exterior, including the addition of a mud room & 3-story family room featuring radiant heat flooring, gas stove & lofts from 2nd and 3rd floors overlooking the space. Kitchen & dining room were combined into an ideal space for entertaining, yet thoughtfully designed with serious cooks in mind. 2016’s updates extended to the exterior, with the home receiving a new roof (upgraded shingles), concrete driveway & garage foundation, and the additions of a covered porch & an outdoor dining space with pergola in the fully fenced yard. 2019’s Phase II included a new primary bathroom with walk-in closet & upgrades to the primary bedroom. The 2nd floor offers 2 additional bedrooms & an updated hall bath, while the third floor includes a bedroom with ensuite bath & an 18'x11' flex space that can serve as a 5th bedroom or an office. Modernized with amenities such as central air throughout & a 220V outlet for an electric car charger, this house represents the perfect blend of Old World charm & today’s creature comforts. Perfectly situated only 15 minutes from University Circle, mere steps away from the Rapid Transit & down the road from Van Aken and Cedar-Lee Districts, this home will be available for possession after November 11th (after the sellers enjoy one last Halloween in this great neighborhood!).
