Perfectly Prairie! 410 N Elmwood is one of those houses you admire every time you pass by. Freshly painted and set on a tree-lined street with broad front lawns in a great center-of-town location, this wonderful house will charm and amaze you from top to bottom and inside-out! The wide front porch welcomes you with a large seating area for great conversations over wine or lemonade. The front double entry with oak & art glass doors invite you into a first-floor haven of rich woodwork, beamed ceilings, stunning art glass, built-ins, and a hearth flanked by an inglenook and Parson's benches. The warmth here is palpable. The library/office at the front of the house looks west out through a leaded glass bay window. A wall of bookcases and cabinets here can house both office necessities & family treasures. The dining room east-facing windows provide a great view of the backyard, complete with fire pit area, a classic oak tree, green space, a 2-car garage + 2 parking spaces. The 2020 renovated kitchen and mudroom area complete the back of the house, with a covered porch right out the back door for al fresco dining! Closets and pantry space will surprise you - and there is so much more to explore. Heading down to the basement you'll find a landing with a side entry and charming 1/2 bath. The basement family room has a custom sectional and entertainment wall complete with surround sound. There is a storage room, workout room, large utility/ laundry room, and a fantastic workshop with a stretch of windows facing the backyard. 200-Amp electric means great potential for expansion, and newer solar panels on the garage help keep things sustainable. Upstairs, a wide staircase with art glass windows lead the way to the 2nd floor, home to 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. You will love the big porch off the NE bedroom which makes a great sundeck. The second bedroom (original primary) has a large closet and en suite bath, while the large Primary bedroom (formerly 3 rooms) spans the front of the house and has a decorative fireplace, a hallway with double closets, and a lovely bathroom with tub and shower. Making our way to the 3rd floor is a breeze with a wide oak staircase. Here you'll find a 4th bedroom, a large storage room, and gorgeous open space that will have your imagination running wild with possibilities. Sculptural leaded glass windows grace the north and south sides of this space, and along with the new tear-off roof in 2023, there were 2 skylights installed in preparation for finishing this space. Likewise, the 2023 new boiler and the 2019 Space Pac A/C are sized to accommodate this area, and there has been prep work done for an additional full bath as well. The attic bedroom is bright and freshly painted and feels like a creative escape with its wall of leaded glass windows & west-facing dormer. Office? Bedroom? Guest space? You decide.
