Wonderful 4/5 bedroom home with a fantastic, sunny yard in AU Park --- a gardener's delight!! This special house was originally designed by a local architect for himself, in 1940, and then expanded by the current owners. The foyer overlooks a bright, grand-piano-sized living room with a wood-burning fireplace, graceful side stairway leading up to the bedrooms, and beautiful original leaded glass windows. The easy flow to a spacious kitchen/dining area was created in 2015, featuring automated skylights and built-ins, including a window seat with cubby storage. The primary suite upstairs features a vaulted ceiling, built-in book shelves, and ensuite bathroom with stand-alone tub, walk-in shower, heated floors and towel rack, and a full length hidden medicine cabinet. There are 3 original bedrooms upstairs (including the primary/ensuite) plus a charming attic/loft room with high peak (for a total of 4 potential bedrooms on the upper levels) as well as a hall bath and convenient laundry area with built-ins. An additional lovely, south-facing, ground-level room with bay window makes a great office or bedroom, with an adjacent full bathroom. The side entrance mudroom includes a 2nd laundry and kitchenette area. The basement includes a rec room with legal egress and an adjacent updated full bath (total 4 full bathrooms), plus a work/storage room with exterior door, for fantastic flexible living spaces. Outside you'll find two sturdy Amish sheds, extensive flagstone, stone retaining wall, stairs to the back alley, fig trees, and off-street parking on the front driveway. Please note that the estimated square footage of the house includes the attic loft room floor area, is based on 3rd party floor plans (Interior Footprints) and differs from the tax record.
