Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 by admin
Welcome home to this amazing solid brick American Four Square home in Oakley. This home is located in walking distance to the Oakley Square, Rookwood Commons and Pavilion and many restaurants and watering holes. In addition this home is less than 1 minute to I-71 and 5 minutes to downtown Cincinnati. This home has been lovingly cared for by its current owner, and once you step up to the yard and inside the front door you will see what I mean! It is neutral, clean and in move in condition.
Enjoy a morning cup of coffee out on your new covered porch. The community is wonderful, with friendly neighbors, walkers, runners and bike riders all over. The street has a block party each October and it is easy to make friends with all of the great Cincinnatians around. The front yard has been cared for with annuals and perennials everywhere you look, and the great large tree in front provides shade and breeze to the owners. This is a lovely location in a great area.
Inside this home’s double door entry you will find a large foyer, which is separated from the dining room with original pocket doors. Once inside the dining room your eyes will be filled with all of the original charming details, like the picture window with original stained glass transom, the cherry inlay in the floors around the edges of the picture frame hardwoods, and the amazing natural wood fireplace with original tile surround. This home is bright, open and clean.
The floor plan of this home is the American Four Square design, where the living and dining rooms are open to each other, allowing for a natural flow in the 4 rooms on the first floor. A large opening between the dining and the living room allow for great entertaining at Christmas, Thanks giving or any time you choose to have a lot of friends or family over, they can also spill out to the front porch or rear yard which is very lovely as well.
The full bathroom on the first floor was added by the current owner. They have ceramic tile flooring, an oversized shower with glass doors, a new toilet and a beautiful pedestal sink. There is a window in this bathroom located off of the kitchen and inside the back yard door. This room has its own heater and warms up very toasty on demand! The neutral colors and warm looks are very appealing and striking.
Just off of the back covered porch you will discover a beautiful level back yard! The yard is flat, and easy to maintain. It would be a great yard for a luau, corn hole, a swing set, or a huge English garden. Whatever you choose. The current owner added the large concrete patio. It is a welcoming place to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of a long day, or after working in the garden! This rear yard is partly shaded for entertainment, but gets plenty of sunshine for the flowers. The rear yard is not completely fenced in, but it could easily join the other fences to complete the rear yard.
The second full bathroom is on the second floor. The floor is ceramic tile, the current owner put in a sink with a vanity for storage. There is built in storage to the left of the sink. The tub/shower combination has a white tile surround, the room is bright and clean.
This room is being used as the master bedroom. The room has a large closet that is lighted. All hardwood flooring with a ceiling fan and light. This room is located towards the rear of the home and has been freshly painted.
This is the second bedroom at it is in the front of the house, also freshly painted. This room measures the same size as the Master Bedroom at 14×11. Great space and lots of natural light.
The third bedroom used to be a nursery, so it has nice cream carpeting to reduce noise. The carpet remains in excellent condition, and the room is currently being used as a study, but would be a great nursery or child’s room. The closet in this bedroom is deep with shelving.
The third floor offers extra storage or family space. Depending on what you would need, this room is great for a 3rd floor family room, a place to put and use your treadmill, a play room, a bedroom, guest room, a studio, an office, you name it! The closet is huge and measures 4×10 and has some cedar lining, great for storing seasonal clothing. There is a lot of opportunity on this bright and open third floor. In addition, the basement is another great place for storage as it is dry and easy to work in. Look for 100 more photos on the virtual tour. This home has been pre-inspected and the report is on file with the realtor and a copy inside the home. We look forward to seeing you soon!
