This 4+BR/3BA, hard-to-find Merriam Park beauty offers the rare combination of meaningful (and tasteful) updates & expansion potential. Anchoring a beautiful block of Portland Avenue, this home features 4 bedrooms on one level (one of which has been converted to a spectacular closet/dressing room but could easily revert to a 4th BR), a bathroom on every level, great finished basement space that is perfect for movie night or a gathering of friends & family, and 2 bright & airy sunrooms! Don't miss the walk-up 3rd story waiting for your finishes (what a great equity builder!) plus the tree & garden filled backyard. The lower-level flex room can be used as office space or another hangout spot, and the main-level gas fireplace provides warmth and ambiance during the Fall & Winter months. The location is superb, with groceries, schools, shops & dining all within walking distance. Don't miss this rare opportunity & the chance to make this pristine house your home!
