Words fail to capture the breathtaking elegance of this unique artistic 1920 Tudor with so much character it almost speaks to you. Nestled in Uptown Harrisburg with unobstructed views of the river, this member of the Historic Homes Association offers you the regal aesthetics of yesteryear with modern-day comforts. The perfect home to recreate the lavish parties of American history, either in your imagination or in real life, your guests will be charmed from the moment they enter the sophisticated foyer with original Crest & stained glass window, handsome rafters, grand staircase, and elevated ceilings. One can contentedly lounge by the fireplace in the living room, listen to the rain in the sunroom with a coffee in hand, take it out to the deck, and escape through the alleyway to the gates which open up to the front yard to spend time with the rose bushes, red Japanese maple, and other rare trees and bushes ready to offer privacy for thought. Meander to other outdoor spaces for reflection such as the rock garden and sitting area in the front yard or the bird-serenated sitting area with turf grass in the side yard. Within, the majestic windows on every floor bathe the home with sunlight; you will never need lights in the daytime. For the true heliophile, the upstairs sunroom is slathered in sunlight and unabashed river views: think midnight beers & cigar sessions on the balcony. Just within, in the office/bedroom, the sunsets are staggering, and a cardinal lives in a tree right outside the window. Whether you buy this to entertain (murder mystery nights?) or as a peaceful getaway to write your novel, you will have inspiration to spare within and without, for miles around. 1 block from the Susquehanna, 1 block from Riverfront Park, easy bike ride to great restaurants (not to mention the bike trail right out front)--the location is simply nonpareil and cannot be understated. River! Parks! Hunter Park with its kayaking spot, a different park for kids, minutes to the Capitol building. Sandwiched in between routes 81 & 83 to jump to York, Hershey, and Lancaster, no traffic on 2nd & Front Street (1-ways), 15 minutes to new Hampden Hospital, minutes to the other UPMC and Penn State medical facilities, 15 min drive to West Shore, restaurants galore--Cafe Fresco, Little Amps, Broadstreet Market on the weekends, Midtown Bookstore. 15 minutes to Jonestown Rd (Costco, Aldi, Target, etc). You need only a destination, near or far--the route will be easy. For the practical part of your brain: affordable natural gas heat, new roof in 2019 with copper details, steel beam construction in basement and 2-car attached garage, lots of storage, plenty of outlets, great waterproofing w/grading near sump pump, wide front staircase (a luxury for the '20s) for moving furniture, appraised at $750,000 to rebuild from scratch. For the whimsical: secret spiral staircase going up from the kitchen to sunroom (if you need to surreptitiously grab something whilst entertaining), jetted tubs with original green-tile showers, bull-nosed arches, etc. etc. You may as well do yourself a favor and schedule a tour... before someone else does.
