Step back in time and embrace the grandeur of the Kemper House, a jewel nestled in the coveted Museum Hill Historic District. A magnificent corner Lot, all-brick, built in the mid-1800s, and cherished by only three families. Prepare to be captivated by its three full stories, each brimming with character and charm, offered fully furnished with only a few exceptions. Imagine yourself within the walls of this sprawling home, boasting 5+ bedrooms, a library, and 3.5 bathrooms (stubbed for bathroom in bedroom), where sunlight dances across gleaming hardwood floors. Tall ceilings and intricate pocket doors whisper tales of a bygone era, while seven fireplaces, with original (one replicated) tiles. Countless stained-glass windows bathe the interior in a kaleidoscope of color, three exquisitely stair-stepping alongside the majestic double staircase. The updated kitchen, a blend of modern convenience and timeless design, features a gas stove, a spacious pantry, and a dedicated coffee station. Entertain with grace in the formal dining area, seamlessly flowing into the inviting family room. Ascend to the third floor and discover a self-contained living space, a true showstopper sure to leave you breathless. This remarkable home, restored to its former glory after a fire on the West side, has been lovingly rebuilt and renovated since 1993. The current owners invested over $1.3 million in its revival, meticulously preserving the original woodwork, tile, and numerous other details, ultimately bringing it back to life in 2020. You will find ample street parking, or consider the potential of the additional lot, ideal for constructing a detached garage. A recent $100,000 investment in a stunning stone wall, sidewalk, and lush landscaping adds the perfect finishing touch. Its prime location is within walking distance of churches, restaurants, pubs, shopping, & major highways. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of the past and create your future. This opportunity won't last long!
