When architectural craftsmanship and solid building practices come together, the result is a home like this. Offering more than 3500 finished square feet and known as The Claridge, this home is nestled in the heart of historic Bellevue Park. Carefully maintained by just two owners - a rarity for older homes. The first thing you will note when you come to this property is the neighborhood! Known for being the first landscaped suburb in Central PA, Bellevue Park has a history all its own. (For more information, go to bellevuepark.org. Check out the property as featured in Penn Live, as well!) As you pull into the driveway, you will find a level lot surrounding a stately home with a yard made for barbecues, volleyball, or anyone with an itch to expand on the current easy maintenance garden. Step into the foyer with the recently refinished original wood floors, and you will feel like you have come home. To the left, a large living room leads to the screened in porch designed for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or just sitting and listening to the sounds of nature. To the right, the dining room leads to a kitchen, garage entry, and Au pair stairway. Note the window seating in both the living room and dining room a favorite spot for the pets or the kids! Upstairs, you will find three full baths, two of which strut their full original glory in near perfect condition! The large master bedroom, Au pair suite, two large bedrooms, and numerous closets (all with lights that turn on when you open the door and one being cedar lined) add to the basket of features this home provides. The finished basement with wet bar and bonus room are the icing on the cake! From the custom crafted copper chimney caps to the finished basement, this home stands out among the crowd. Oh, did I mention that the two car garage is heated? Too many upgrades to list here (take a look at the documents provided), but the lucky buyer will reap the benefit of the time, money and energy spent upgrading all the systems. This is city living at its finest! Minutes from downtown, yet centered in a natural oasis, this historic beauty could be the perfect home for YOU!
