The big 0.24A fenced lot has patio, workshop and parking for 3 cars in back. The off-street parking, rare in Historic Oakwood, is accessed by the one-block long rear alley located in the heart of Oakwood.
Double back doors (left) lead to a handsome brick patio nicely proportioned for formal entertaining and informal relaxing. Note the handy workshop/storage building. A mud/utility room is located just inside the back door.
 

  A 77 ft center hall greets you as you enter the house through double front doors topped with a stained glass transom window.
 

Transom-topped double doors open to the big front porch from both the living room and parlor/ family room.
 

Double arches from the front parlor/family room to the dining room were added by the current owners, blending nicely old with new. Many of
the ceilings are 12 ft high, adding to the elegance of the home. The dining room chandelier does not convey.
 
 
The Italian Carrara marble bar, polished concrete counters and custom cabinets frame the view from the kitchen. The modern kitchen includes a Bosch dishwasher and top of the line Dacor gas range. The fireplace from an earlier remodeling is stubbed for gas logs.
       
 

The floor plan is versatile floor plan with 5 BR’s& 3 full baths.

Option - The smallest BR (not shown here) is now used as an office.
