Built in 1935, this elegant AU Park colonial is one of a handful in the neighborhood that sits sideways on its lot. This unique orientation provides for spacious rooms and gracious flow throughout. The main level has a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and coat closet. The large separate dining room is adjacent to the gourmet kitchen, which features granite counters, stainless appliances and a beautiful slate floor. There is a glass door from the kitchen to a spacious deck. The second level features three bedrooms, each with a ceiling fan, elegant white plantation shutters, and ample closet space. The second floor landing has a cozy window seat with built-in storage, a linen closet, and access to the full bath with tub. There are fixed stairs to the third floor, which currently is furnished as an office but could be converted to a fourth bedroom -- there is plenty of space there for a closet and even an additional bath. All of the rooms are cheery with lots of natural light! The lower level was fully renovated in 2010. Meticulously done, there is a recreation room with a sitting/TV area and additional play space on one side of staircase, as well as a separate, rear entrance and a storage closet. On the other side is an office area, two large pantry closets plus under-stairs storage. There is a separate laundry room with a front-loading washer and dryer, and a gorgeous luxury bath with heated floor. The lower level has plenty of recessed lighting and is bright, beautiful, and as comfortable as it is functional.
