Welcome to 1147 Wenonah Avenue. This meticulously crafted 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom bungalow designed by architect A.J. Fisher, seamlessly blends historic charm with modern convenience. Nestled on an over-sized 150' x 74' corner lot offering over 4,500 square feet of living space and a rare opportunity to own a piece of history and luxury. Upon entering, you are greeted by a grand formal living room with stunning rounded windows and a wood-burning fireplace with a marble mantel-a perfect setting for gatherings or quiet evenings. The formal dining room flows into the gourmet kitchen and spacious family room, featuring gleaming hardwood floors, newer Pella windows, and designer light fixtures. The first floor boasts three large bedrooms, including a primary suite with an ensuite bath, a second large bedroom with full bath and a versatile home office. Upstairs, you will find newly installed hardwood floors (2024), two oversized bedrooms both with ensuite baths, along with abundant closet space and built in storage. The one-of-a-kind lower level features 8-foot ceilings, maple hardwood floors, and a large work out studio that doubles as a bedroom. Open living space, a full bathroom and areas plumbed for a second kitchen offer endless possibilities for recreation, live-in childcare, or extended family living. Outside enjoy the custom blue stone patio and professionally landscaped yard, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Rebuilt rear porch and stairs for both main level and basement entrances. Buried all utility lines for direct connection to house. Installed Kichler outdoor lighting system. Full tear off tile roof, new copper gutters and downspouts, all completed in 2017. The garage is wired with its own 220 electrical panel, perfect for an electric vehicle. A detached sunroom adjacent to garage is equipped with gas, water, and electric connections-ideal for additional outdoor living space or garden enthusiasts. Every detail reflects a commitment to quality and craftsmanship in this one-of-a kind, architectural gem of a home.
