Welcome home to this lovingly maintained, quality built, large Northwood twin filled with charm and architectural details. The approach to this home has two wrought iron posts, with a cross chain to define the walkway, and beautiful gardens that flank the home in the front, side and rear. The freshly painted open porch will give you many options for your morning, afternoon or evening relaxation. Upon entering the residence you are greeted with two sets of double glass wood paneled doors. The first set enters into a lovely vestibule, and the second set opens into a foyer with a beautiful wood carved post & rail staircase with carved wood panels along the side with a closet tucked underneath ( think Harry Potter) . To the left of the foyer is a grand living room featuring a huge 12 paneled wood pocket door, a stunning wood carved mantel with arts and craft motif style tile, and a vintage iron grate that covers the heating vent. Ten foot ceilings illuminate this room with a large picture window ( renewal by Anderson) overlooking the front porch. The formal dining room features wood floors, built-in cabinet with glass doors above for your displays, and solid wood doors on the bottom for storage.
