Rarely available true Patterson Park-front home with a porch! If your heart is set on a true park-front home WITH a porch you have one block of homes on S Ellwood Ave to choose from. The 400 block of S Ellwood Ave is always a well sought-after location. Some will argue that it’s the best view of the park and all of the festivals and parades that come to the area. The block also has a reputation for a great sense of community. Additionally, since your front yard is 137 acres of park-front, parking is less of a challenge. The home is large and features 3 finished levels of living. There is a good mix of historic charm with modern upgrades to include a gourmet kitchen and a recently added private full bath off of the front bedroom. But these upgrades don’t overpower the original hardwood floors, the tin ceiling in the kitchen, or the window and door trim.
The main level has a nice open layout but includes a true dining area with great built-ins and a large kitchen with all the upgrades (large island, granite, stainless, etc). At the front of the house is the formal living room with mantel and woodburning stove. At the back of the house is an iron porch that sits just above the brick patio with perfect privacy. The charm continues upstairs and features 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths! The front bedroom has a large bay window allowing a front row seat to Patterson Park’s great sunsets. The bedroom is quite large with a walkthrough closet and a recently added full bath with great space and dual sinks. The back bedroom is also a nice size. There is an access door to another covered balcony. The basement is finished with a separate family room and also storage space, laundry and a half bath.
