Property Description
This eye-catching, two-story home, prominently sitting next to Crescent Springs on Spring Street, is a fine example of Victorian architecture. Scrolled trim work along the roofline, heavy exterior moldings and boxed bay windows add to the home's appeal. A covered front porch stretches across the front offering a great spot to relax and watch the comings and goings along the Historic Loop.
The main floor boasts a large parlor with a bay window overlooking the beautiful gardens around the Crescent Gazebo built in 1885. Double doors lead into a formal dining room creating a large open space for entertaining guests. The kitchen and a large utility room are located in the back of the house where an outside door opens onto a private courtyard area. A guest bedroom and half bath complete the main floor living areas.
Upstairs is a large master bedroom with a sitting room and extra large closets along with a second guest bedroom and a full bath. There is an exterior door in the second floor landing that leads to walkway to Crescent Springs Trail and up to St. Elizabeth's Church and the Crescent Hotel.
The roof was replaced in Spring 2011 with architectural style shingles and there is a new gas furnace and compressor for the central heat and air system. The detached outbuilding with matching architectural details is a great spot for a workshop, studio or extra storage.
The back yard is very private with stone retaining walls and an old cold shed that can be used as a gardening shed or converted to a great wine cellar. The property's off-street parking is an added luxury. Enjoy the short, level walk to downtown shopping and dining, and you're just around the corner from the Carnegie Library. This home has the perfect Spring Street location!
