Property Description

From the porch through the front door, the face of Janus, the god of arrivals, greets all that step through the tiled foyer of 2503 Guilford. The dark paneling and millwork are still preserved and a welcoming indication of the turn-of-the-century architectural appointments throughout. The living room, lit by a pair of grand floor-to-ceiling windows, an inlay surround crowns the floors and the real conversation piece, the mantle with its flat pilasters and classical capitals; a room definitely worthy of its ceiling height. Into the dining room, the eye moves directly to the built-in china cabinet, an understated compliment to the living room's mantle. Past the retro-fitted half bath into the kitchen. Though updated at the end of the 20th century, the 1910 Icebox remains as "storage with a story". Upstairs, a large bedroom enjoys the front facing view of a breakout bay window. Passing a large walk-in closet in the hall, there's a bedroom on the left as one moves towards the rear where the full bath sits outside the rear bedroom. With original built-in mirrored closets and drawers, two benches beneath opposing windows flank the door to the back deck, a screened in balcony awaiting a 21st century update. From the deck, one can appreciate the tree-canopied, fenced yard. A path leads from the back porch to the shaded patio beyond the garden. Below the home, a full length basement with the height for finishing and a door for rear access, has endless potential.
