Located in the Ethel Park District, on the corner of a beautiful, tree-lined street and within minutes from Fremont Elementary School rests a charming and well-maintained home that’s on the market for the first time in 45 years! A cheerful front yard decorated by iceberg roses, colorful flowers, and a brick walkway leads one to enter through the covered porch. Greeted at once with gleaming wood-like floors, one is welcomed into the living room featuring crown molding, a cozy brick fireplace with wood mantle, and a bay window overlooking the picturesque front yard. The adjoined dining room is accented by bright windows, wainscoting with chair rail and a ceiling fan light. Next is the large kitchen updated with wood cabinetry, granite countertops, space for a washer/dryer, and a pleasant breakfast nook. The “heart” of the home is the generously-sized “great room” that can be accessed from multiple areas. It features a post and beam ceiling, large French sliding doors, and a ceiling fan light that defines the T.V. “zone”. The other “zones” include a children’s work/play area and a study nook with built-in cabinets. Additionally, the versatility of this creative space presents endless expansion possibilities. On the north end of the home rests the private quarters. The front bedroom is bright and airy with crown molding, a mirrored wardrobe, additional closet, and ceiling fan light. Across from the bedroom lies a lovely cedar lined guest closet off the entry. The very spacious, remodeled full bathroom is centrally located and showcases an elegant, freestanding, clawfoot tub, ceramic-tiled shower, granite countertops with a glass tile backsplash, and tri-sectional mirrored medicine cabinet. The primary bedroom is accented by a richly finished, tropical leaf ceiling fan light, mirrored wardrobe, and another closet. This good sized room also features corner windows and access to the study nook. Beyond the house discovers a delightful patio and backyard of flowers, mature and manicured trees and a pretty fountain, with easy access from the “great room” or kitchen. The detached, finished 2-car garage is approached by a security gate which creates an additional playground. Other highlights for this well-loved home include copper plumbing, newer upgraded electrical panel, central heating and A/C, new interior paint, automatic sprinkler system, double-paned windows, and plantation shutters throughout. This home-sweet-home is happily awaiting its new owners to enjoy all it has to offer!
