Description

Classic single-family home on one of the most desirable tree-lined streets in Grandview Heights. From the front porch, enjoy the mature dogwood trees in the yard while greeting neighbors walking by, or enjoy an evening grilling in the privacy of the rear garden. The current homeowners completed an extensive renovation of the property with particular attention to preserving the original character of the home. The kitchen and two full bathrooms were completely gutted, reconfigured and updated with all new fixtures. The original hardwood floors were refinished throughout. Electric and plumbing was replaced, and a 2 zone HVAC system was installed. Walking through the front door, you will find a large living room spanning the full width of the home with a woodburning fireplace and original built-in cabinetry. The spacious formal dining room boasts a unique bump-out, built-in china cabinet and abundant natural lighting. The professionally designed kitchen is well appointed with semi-custom cabinetry, high-end granite counter tops, tiled backsplash, center island, prep sink and bookcase for cookbooks. Upgraded stainless steel appliances include refrigerator, microwave, gas stove with an exterior-vented range hood and a custom paneled dishwasher. Dimmable recessed lighting compliments the room for well-lit cooking or intimate dining ambiance. Found on the 2nd floor are 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The remodeled baths have radiant floor heat. The owners' bedroom has an ensuite bathroom tiled in marble, glass enclosed shower and an over-sized closet. There is ample closet space including a linen closet in the hallway. The second bathroom, enlarged in the renovation, has a dual sink vanity, classic rosette tile floor, and subway tiles on the bathtub shower walls. The 3rd floor consists of another large bedroom, with cedar closet, a dormer window space large enough for desk work area, and significant amount of storage among several crawl spaces. The basement has a separate 6’x12’ root cellar, laundry facilities and half bathroom. The HVAC has been sized to accommodate a potential renovation of the basement into additional living space. The backyard of the house has raised garden beds, and an oversized concrete patio. The alley at the rear serves as a convenient place for trash/recycling collection and provides access to an off-street parking spot and a 2-car garage.

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
