Once in a lifetime … you will be only the 3rd owner of this wonderful 110 year old Bellevue Park piece of history called the Veranda! Originally built for a Bell Telephone executive who transferred to Harrisburg from New York City, the floorplan offers charm and functionality for today’s lifestyles, more than a century later. Come see why this house has been cherished by the two prior owners! Enjoy being outside on the 65 foot long porch which has views of one of the Park's most attractive corners. Upon entering the foyer you’ll notice the high ceilings, two original custom stained glass windows and an artfully crafted recessed brick fireplace with gallery lighting. French doors, bay window, window seat and an additional two beautiful stained glass windows show off the light filled formal dining room. A full butlers pantry showcasing both new & original cabinetry and sink, adjoins the updated custom kitchen with well considered storage, warm wood cabinetry, center island, a touch of open shelving for display or chef’s tools and spices and generous work spaces. A convenient powder room and laundry chute complete the first floor. The 2nd level is accessed by the original wood banister stairway, leading to four bedrooms with generous closets, an updated full hall bath, laundry chute and bright sunroom that creates the perfect home office, craft or music room. The 3rd floor hosts the primary suite with 600+ square feet of quiet space with full bath, walk in closet and six storage closets. The attached garage is most useful as a tool or garden shed. The rear yard, with a gravel pad (shed to be removed) could be a future garden or play area. Many possibilities for the gardener or herb enthusiast in this compact area to create an outdoor oasis for relaxing or entertaining. Roof in 2020, water heater in 2022, newer Anderson & Marvin windows. Water supply lines and drain piping have been replaced, new electric wiring, updated gas hot water furnace, numerous ceiling fans. And finally, a complete insulation package! Cellulose was blown into all walls and 2nd floor ceiling with fiberglass batts in the basement and 3rd floor ceilings. However there are still projects to be completed so sale is to be “in as-is” condition. Come discover the opportunity to own and continue learning of all the history in this great property and area.
