Property Description
Proudly sitting along the iconic bricks of Brown Street, this historic Northside home occupies the corner at North Linn behind a screened porch that extends the living space and recalls a time when the front of the house was where evenings were spent. The Northside Marketplace, downtown, Hancher, campus, Hickory Hill, and City Park are all an easy walk. The formal living and dining rooms run under coffered ceilings, where original built ins and unpainted woodwork have been conserved. The kitchen, third floor, and sauna are where the current owners made their mark. Carrara marble counters and deep green glazed tile play against the original trim and refinished pine floors. A den with laundry sits off the back, with a half bath and a three season room off the kitchen. In the unfinished basement they added an authentic Finnish sauna: cedar hot room, shower, changing room with a window. Five bedrooms share a full bath with dual vanities upstairs. The attic functions as its own wing, an expansive family room over wide plank heart pine ready for a media room, play space, or home office, plus a sixth bedroom and bath that serve as a guest suite. Radiator heat runs throughout, and the owners added central air conditioning.Mature trees shade both frontages, brick paths lead to a patio and raised beds, with a detached two car garage.
