Combine the grandeur of an historically certified Tudor townhome with elements of the French countryside and the result is a home of irresistible warmth and charm. This is the case at 3457 Midvale Ave. Past the deep front garden now in early bloom and its welcoming sitting area, note the dramatic two story leaded glass front windows which are the signature of all the homes in this coveted row. Inside, the expansive living room with its 14' cathedral ceiling and exposed beams is flooded with light. The room neatly divides into two sitting and entertaining areas with a graceful wood burning fireplace at one end. The impressive staircase leads to a 2nd floor balcony overlooking the living area below. The pretty dining room leads to the well-planned fully equipped eat-in kitchen with a wood floor, tile backsplash, jenn air grille top stove and charming plant window. The kitchen opens to a rear courtyard which leads to the attached garage with newer door and automatic opener. Across the driveway is another charming sitting area with additional property ascending up the hill. The primary bedroom is joined by a beautiful new bathroom with marble floors, extensive counters, double sinks and glass shower. French doors open to a deck over the garage. The third floor includes two additional bedrooms and an updated full bathroom. The basement includes an all-purpose area perfect for exercise, crafts and games, a laundry area and mechanicals.
