Classic Craftsman architecture combined with one of the most ideal locations within magical Mesta Park Historic District make this property a dream. Mesta Park is most well known for its iconic front porches, and this is one of the best, wrapping around the NE corner of the home, anchored by stately red brick columns and a vaulted, exposed rafter cover. The exterior siding, trim, and eaves have been recently repainted in stylish and era-appropriate colors. Once inside, you get a sense of welcome and openness. Many original features have been retained, including narrow plank hardwood floors, french-style patio doors, brick fireplace, and ornate moldings. The main living area is spacious and incredibly well lit. The dining room features built-in buffet cabinetry, coffered ceiling, lots of windows, and a small bar counter. The kitchen is open and roomy and includes updated cabinetry, countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy breakfast nook with bay windows and a ledge that would be ideal for a window seat. The first bedroom is well proportioned and lined with spectacular original windows. The middle bedroom has more of a moody vibe. The main bathroom has attractive, original floor tile, and black and white wall and tub surround tile. The third bedroom is equally as spacious as the other two. Opportunity abounds in the walk-out basement that spans the entire footprint. What appears to have once been fully functional living area, den, kitchen, and bathroom, with the right vision and know-how could be restored to their original grandeur. Put your own artistic touch on this incredible piece of history, and live the life you've always wanted in Historic Mesta Park.
