Tree-lined Yale Avenue sets the stage for this charming, brick University City home, where original character and thoughtful updates live happily together. The Living Room features distinctive French doors with pretty metal grates, a gorgeous fireplace and a double opening into the spacious Dining Room that is adjacent to the updated Kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, and a clever pantry. A bright and useful Mudroom leads to a gorgeous brick patio, glorious gardens, and fenced backyard—perfect for morning coffee, happy hour, or letting everyone (and everything) run free. Upstairs, four generously sized Bedrooms share a LARGE, beautifully updated bath with a jetted tub, while three—yes, THREE—linen/storage closets keep life organized on the second floor. Original hardwood floors throughout the main and second levels are in wonderful condition and add warmth at every turn. The finished lower level delivers even more fun with a Family Room, play space, full bath, laundry room - washer/dryer stay - and great storage with built-ins. A convenient driveway entrance makes this level especially versatile. Top it all off with a detached two-car garage that includes MORE storage. Charming ... comfortable ... and full of surprises—this Yale Avenue gem is waiting to welcome YOU home!
