Craftsman

Welcome to this turn of the century Craftsman-style home situated on one of the prettiest streets located in the south side of the historic section of "walk-able" Wayne. From the moment you approach the brick and blue stone path, one will be captured by its charm and beauty. The open front porch invites you to come and relax and enjoy the peacefulness that 206 Lansdowne Ave has to offer. Built in 1900, just a few years after Wayne was incorporated into a suburban destination, this home exudes charm and character with all of today's modern conveniences. The current owner has meticulously upgraded and maintained this home to perfection. Upon entry, one is greeted by an open floor plan with a very "grand" staircases that circles up to the 2nd floor, but not before wrapping itself around a wonderful reading nook complete with gas fireplace and built window seats. The open Living Room, with additional built-in window seat flows nicely into a bright and spacious dining room with a view and access to the rear garden and the open-air kitchen. The kitchen has been completely redesigned with top-of-the-line VIKING appliances, large center island and custom white cabinetry complemented by rich dark stone counters. A rear entry features a laundry closet, a jewel box of a powder room and rear access to detached 2 car garage. One will feel like royalty ascending the main staircase that wraps around and up to the 2nd floor. The primary suite is complemented with a large walk-in closet, sumptuous marble bath, and a serene, glass enclosed sleeping porch with perfect views of the rear gardens. A 2nd bedroom with en-suite bath completes this level. The 3rd floor features 2 additional bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath, reading nook and hidden storage room. If one so chooses, there is an additional back staircase down the first level. The entire property has been professionally landscaped with specimen plantings that will delight throughout the seasons. One enjoys this, both from in the inside through all the windows and even more so once in the yard. A beautiful brick and blue stone patio complete the backyard space, with direct access from the dining room, and is complete with built in BBQ grill, a brick, wood burning fireplace and ample seating and dining spaces. The rear lawn is spacious and could accommodate a pool. Basement is partially finished with outside access via a bilco door in addition to access to the mechanicals and good storage. This home is not to be missed.
