Description

Historic cottage style home with full Brick in the heart of College Hill on large lot. This home features 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths and grand entertaining areas on the main floor including a sun room. One of the trademark features of the home is the custom shake roof with curved eaves and copper gutters. Another show piece is the original refrigerator with a newly installed compressor. The foyer has newer Batchelder tile and adjacent to the courtyard there is an rare original Batchelder fountain that has been plumbed to work again. The current owners have installed some modern conveniences like PEX plumbing and newer electrical systems and also installed a mini-split HVAC system. The master bath has been totally remodeled with retaining the saddle toilet seat and tub and adding jack and jill sinks. The original laundry chute has been reclaimed and all the hardwood floors have been refinished. The large basement is considered unfinished but very useable with its own exterior entry. The sellers have redesigned the laundry area and added a tub and new plumbing. There is also a craft room, exercise area and TV area. The detached 2 car garage/shop has space above that has made a great apartment in the past. It also has a 1/2 bath but sellers don't think the plumbing is hooked up. As only the 3rd owners of this home they hate to sell this home and cut the remodel short from being their dream estate. One of the sellers is a historian and extensive research was done to ensure that updates were in line with the time period. The sellers have loved living between 1st and 2nd streets on Roosevelt just diagonal from the Historic Frank Lloyd Wright house. This is a historic stretch of homes with great proximity to all of the College Hill conveniences.
