I've got a story to tell: The newly-regaled Professor Emeritus decided to retire in sunny Florida instead. But not before doing ALL the heavy-lifting. His change-of-mind...your gain: JULY 2023: Almost $80,000 for WATERPROOFING, full house MOLD REMEDIATION w/LIFETIME warranties that transfer to new owners & a STRUCTURAL ENGINEER Inspection; SEPT 2023: $5,300 for Roof/Chimney Repairs, POWER WASHING & REPAIR of upper and lower backyard decks, NEW SHEETROCK in several rooms, servicing & BLEEDING of all radiators & DOZENS of Miscellaneous Repairs; MAY 2023: $1200 for 2 NEW sump pumps; and $900 for (2) ARCHITECTURAL PLANS for the MAIN LEVEL/////This house has so much CHARACTER and charm with its HARDWOOD FLOORS throughout, beautiful STAINED-GLASS windows, WOOD-BURNING fireplace and ATTACHED GARAGE with DRIVEWAY/////Travel with me as we open the front door of 3205: [[[ME:]]] It's so open and inviting, don't you think? [[[YOU]]]: And so much NATURAL light. What is this first room called? [[[ME:]]] Whatever you'd like -- LIVING ROOM? SITTING ROOM? [[[YOU]]]: Does that brown bench at the window stay with the house? [[[ME]]]: Yup. And it's actually a hand-made RADIATOR COVER that DOUBLES as seating and was custom-made especially for 3205 to complement its wood floors and aesthetic. And off this room is a FLEX-SPACE you can finish if you need a MAIN-LEVEL BEDROOM, or keep as a FLORIDA ROOM/OFFICE/PLAY AREA/LIBRARY with STORAGE SPACE that overlooks the UPPER DECK. Past the FRONT ROOM is an even larger quarter that serves as DEN/FAMILY ROOM with its WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE and ornate mantle. [[[YOU]]]: Why is the wall unfinished like that? [[[ME:]]] Because after having the wall removed to thoroughly clean and repair the chimney, the SELLER'S AGENT told him to leave it like that because the BUYER will paint a different color anyway, and maybe even cut-out a niche or other unique design as a FOCAL POINT. And it'll ALSO make it easy to find the studs. The SEPARATE, full DINING ROOM with ambient lighting takes us into the KITCHEN with it's BUILT-IN PANTRY and extra footage to either EXPAND the GALLEY or to create a SUNROOM/MUDROOM/OFFICE to take us outside to the GROUND-LEVEL platform that's perfect for grilling, seating or a STORAGE SHED. You can either leave these 6 rooms as-is, or take advantage of one of the ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS the owner purchased for $900////You can't help but fall in love with the stained-glass windows as you spiral to the UPPER LEVEL with it's 3 bedrooms and walk-in closets in each. The large hall bathroom rounds off this level. Having to only paint is a small penance for the HEPA SCRUBBERS the Seller paid THOUSANDS for, to get the air as clean as possible for anyone with allergies or a compromised immune system. OH! But wait until you see the ATTIC! Truly the PINNACLE of 3205. You can get RID OF the current access in the hall and construct stairs from the CLOSET of the MAIN bedroom and create an OWNER'S LOFT! You can design the DRESSING AREA of your dreams! Lounge Space! Your private OASIS. It's about 10 FEET high, 300 SQUARE FEET, HARDWOOD FLOORS, Natural Light and Electricity. You can then have an INCOME-PRODUCING PROPERTY or a MULTI-GENERATIONAL home/////Running out of space to tell you about the EXTERIOR, but it's all self-descript: A two-tiered deck with LOT that's TWICE THE SIZE of most in the area. FOLLOW THE PINK FLAGS up the street. ALL OF THAT SPACE belongs to 3205. And what looks like an overgrown collection of large, leafy weeds in the middle? It's your FIG TREE's clever disguise at hiding its luscious fruit from the passersby!!!!
