Description

Nestled on a corner lot in the heart of Rosedale, this lovely brick Colonial immediately captures attention with its classic elegance and timeless charm. As you step through the hardwood entry, you're greeted by the glow of natural light streaming through beveled glass side windows. The warmth of hardwood floors stretches throughout the home, creating a sense of continuity and sophistication along with the spaciousness of nearly 12 foot ceilings. To the right, French doors open to a sunroom, a space that invites you to relax year-round with its bright, airy atmosphere. The craftsmanship of the home is undeniable, from the gas fireplace that anchors the living room to the intricate crown molding and wainscoting that line the walls, adding a sense of grandeur to each room. The kitchen, a blend of modern convenience and classic design, boasts granite countertops and an array of built-in cabinets, many with glass fronts that showcase your finest dishware. An amazing slide-out spice rack is just one of the many thoughtful details that make this kitchen both beautiful and functional. A nearby mudroom offers practicality for everyday living, while most of the home's windows have been replaced, preserving the home’s energy efficiency without sacrificing its historical character. Upstairs, a second-floor sunroom provides yet another peaceful retreat, and the laundry chute, accessible from all floors, is a nod to the home's well-planned convenience. On the third floor, you'll find a finished room with a cedar closet and a bonus room, perfect for guests or a home office, along with a full bathroom that makes this level a private sanctuary. The four-zone natural gas heating system ensures comfort no matter the season, while the full basement, accessible by a Bilco door, offers ample storage and potential for future expansion. Outside, the detached oversized one-car garage provides both parking and additional storage. Raised garden beds on the lot are ready for the next homeowner to nurture their own green space. This home is a masterful blend of classic Colonial charm and thoughtful modern updates, creating a warm, inviting space that’s perfect for living, entertaining, and creating lasting memories.
