Step through the looking glass into a home where timeless charm and modern magic meet! This whimsical early 1900s Four Square beauty invites you into over 2,200 sq ft of delightfully finished space across three storybook levels. Original hardwood floors, elegant white trim, and dreamy arched doorways create a sense of wonder from the moment you arrive. Sunlight dances through large windows in the living and dining rooms, setting the perfect stage for gatherings big and small. The kitchen is a modern fairytale, featuring quartz countertops, subway tile, open shelving, and three cheerful windows above the sink, all surrounding a gas stove fit for a feast. On the main floor, you'll also find a laundry nook, full bath, and charming built-in cubbies straight out of a storybook. The second level hosts four cozy bedrooms and full bath, while a hidden staircase leads to the finished attic - a magical fifth bedroom or flexible retreat. The waterproofed basement is brimming with potential, and recent updates like a 2020 roof and 2021 leaf guard system mean less worry and more adventure. Outside, your enchanted garden awaits: a shaded back deck, two-car garage, and a firepit perfect for twilight tales, toasted marshmallows, and cozy evenings under the stars. Tucked in the heart of the beloved Roosevelt neighborhood, just a short walk from parks, shops, and a bakery that's pure magic with quick access to I-235 for easy escapes. You're not just buying a home, you're stepping into a story.
