Description

This Classic Prospect Park South home greets you with a screened wrap-around porch that takes full advantage of its ideal location-nestled privately in the middle of the block surrounded by mature landscaping. But that's just the start of falling for this charming home that has been loved by the same family for over 53 years. Inside it is the very best version of a time capsule-original parquet floors that look brand new, all the pocket doors glide beautifully, the two front parlors and dining room...This Classic Prospect Park South home greets you with a screened wrap-around porch that takes full advantage of its ideal location-nestled privately in the middle of the block surrounded by mature landscaping. But that's just the start of falling for this charming home that has been loved by the same family for over 53 years. Inside it is the very best version of a time capsule-original parquet floors that look brand new, all the pocket doors glide beautifully, the two front parlors and dining room are bright, sunny and graciously proportioned, the eat-in kitchen has endless potential including direct access to the rear yard. There is also a half bath along with two small sunny rooms at the rear of the house awaiting a re-interpretation as home office and laundry, or walk-in pantry and wet bar. All this plus the comfort of central air conditioning. A bright staircase leads to four comfortable bedrooms and a full bath. One of the bedrooms has a private sink alcove with a sweet stained glass window. On the third floor is a large central room connected to a walk-in storage space with a window; another bedroom, a full bath, and a large convenient storage space tucked under the eaves. Outside is a brick garage, a landscaped rear yard that explodes with color in the spring, and a 50-foot private driveway. The exterior of the home was resided and painted four years ago, the roof is also just four years old, and the unfinished basement space is waiting to become a home gym or spa; game room or home theater, music studio or play space. There is so much to fall in love with at 157 Westminster Road: perfect location, 6 bedrooms, 2.5baths, classic proportions and details but then again, we probably had you at "Screened Porch". Come see this move-in ready home soon.
