Description

OPEN HOUSES, FRIDAY, FEB 13TH 5-7PM AND SUNDAY, FEB 15TH 1-3PM. Set on an elevated lot overlooking the street, this spacious 1942 Bexley home offers the room you've been looking for at a price point that's increasingly hard to find. With approximately 2,336 square feet of living space, a thoughtful rear addition, and a rare three-car attached garage, this property delivers flexibility, function, and long-term value. The first floor features a welcoming living room with a wood-burning fireplace and abundant natural light, an original dining area, and a well-designed rear addition completed in the 1990s. This addition includes real hardwood floors, solid wood patio doors, and an open kitchen/family room layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen offers generous counter space, ample cabinetry, a large center island with seating, and all appliances convey. One first-floor bedroom with hardwood floors is serviced by a full bath, offering convenient single-floor living options. Upstairs, the updated primary suite features skylights, dormer cut-ins, multiple closets, and a spacious walk-in closet. The primary bath includes double sinks and skylights, blending original character with modern updates. The second floor also includes a third bedroom, with potential for an additional bedroom or future bath. The concrete block basement has been freshly painted and includes a perimeter waterproofing system, a radon mitigation system (installed circa 2021), and a small finished area with a working fireplace. Mechanical updates include whole-house insulation (circa 2016), furnace and central air installed prior to 2020, and a new hot water tank in 2024. Two water meters—one dedicated to exterior use—help reduce sewer charges. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the three-car attached garage (two doors with openers) plus additional attic storage above the garage.
