This is truly a hidden GEM in the heart of Ottawa Hills - welcome to your secluded oasis in the city! The roomy double-lot lush with native plantings creates an English-garden environment complete with shady arbors, contemplative walkways, and a peaceful pond. Then step inside the charming three-story Tudor-revival home and prepare to be impressed with the well-preserved character - hardwood floors, coved plaster ceilings with decorative medallions, and a thoughtful balance of modern updates. Take in the tall baseboards, retro tin ceiling in the Kitchen, and the original Butler's Door, too! The spacious Living Room features a natural fireplace for those cozy winter nights, and the open layout easily accommodates entertaining as well as daily living. The upstairs bedrooms offer useful proportions and the period tile-work in the Full Bath is very well preserved. Then head upstairs again to the large and open third floor offering a generous Bedroom #4, or Rec. Room, or a Home Studio (calling you artists!), and even has a roof skylight for extra daylight and fresh air. The partially-finished basement features another "Bonus Room" for a home office (or perhaps a photography Dark Room?) and a vintage-chic Full Bath! And don't miss the "Family Room" addition with direct access to the gardens and the convenience of a first-floor Half-Bath, too! Enjoy your morning sips of coffee and relax with your evening sips of wine on the side porch listening to the birds chirp and admiring the sunset peeking though the foliage. Important updates include new windows and exterior doors, remodeled kitchen, professional interior painting, newer HVAC, copper plumbing, and more. This property offers a lot of living and a lot to love, and is ready for your continued care and stewardship. Welcome home!!
