2223 OLIVE ST

First time on the market in almost 40 years, this fantastic College Hill home is in a great location, with amazing eastern views. Built in 1946 (possibly earlier), there are 3503 sq ft, with 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. Enter via the grand front door, where the charm begins. Hardwood floors throughout, traditional windows that let in tons of light, French doors, and other unique features, in abundance. The living room is a generous size, with an artistic fireplace crafted in tile, flanked by window benches. The formal dining room is cozy and opens into a sunroom with an outside entrance. Finally, enter the kithen that makes you stop and soak it in. A dutch door to the outside covered patio, makes you feel like you are in Tuscany. Lots of space to cook; many counters, cabinets, Thermador gas range, arched ceiling, and cement counters. An in-kitchen casual area with built-in seating is ideal for your morning coffee. Up the beautiful staircase with a curved banister, and you have 4 bedrooms and 2 full, tiled baths. All bedrooms have a view to the east. In the lower level, there is a large finished space and carpet that is an ideal bonus area. A ping pong table, large TV, etc is a perfect choice for this area. Lots of additional storage here also. The backyard is on the alley, blocked off with a tall hedge, but a gate allows access to the basketball hoop behind. The yard is full of beautiful gardens, perennials, pots, small trees, and two patios, each with their own unique character. This home is special and needs to be seen to appreciate.
