Gorgeous light-filled Victorian in perfect walk-to-everything location in historic Lakeshore District close to the lakefront, shops, restaurants, and public transportation. This beautiful four-bedroom home has been painstakingly renovated by the current owners over many years starting in 2002. When you enter the home you are greeted by the stunning original staircase in the entry foyer, which leads to wonderful living space with 10' ceilings, huge architectural windows, and a modern open floor plan that offers flexibility for today's families. Living room, formal dining room with original built-ins, main floor office or additional living space/family room, a main floor bedroom with en suite bath or 2nd office space, and charming renovated eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, island and granite countertops. The kitchen features a vaulted ceiling and opens to a wonderful porch perfect for dinners outside enjoying the lovely breeze off of Lake Michigan. Laundry and pantry are conveniently located next to the kitchen. Ascend the stunning staircase to view the primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and a lovely hall bath which was fully renovated. The primary suite is truly spectacular, with a graciously sized bedroom, new closet system, and new primary bath with frameless shower, soaking tub, Carrera marble tile floor and double vanity with Carrera marble counter top. All mechanicals were updated in 2003 including updated electrical throughout the house, new HVAC split system with dual zoning, and new copper plumbing. Interior renovations included new hardwood floors on 2nd floor and refinished floors on 1st floor, complete interior painting and new basement windows. The exterior of the home was completely renovated in 2005 with new historically approved cedar siding, new gutters, new insulation and a rebuilt front deck. Additional improvements include new fencing, new hardscaping and landscaping, new water heater (2014), chimney tuckpointing, and a complete tear off roof in 2018. The homeowner completed exterior painting in late summer 2021. The full basement also has an exterior entrance, which is perfect for utilizing the convenient storage space. This home is truly move-in ready; it has been fully renovated while retaining the unique charm of an architectural gem built in 1872. Must been seen to fully appreciate the light flooding the interior and the beautiful one-of-a-kind architectural details throughout. Please note there is no garage and no room to add a garage. As shown in the photo, there is a paved driveway for one car off-street parking. Plentiful street parking. 44x74 lot includes a small fenced yard good for small dog or small vegetable garden and a deck off of the kitchen.
