Welcome to the dream home you can make your own! This spacious colonial is two homes in one. A large house built in 1939 with a modern addition built in 1965. It is located on one of the largest sites (almost four lots) in the high demand neighborhood of Interlachen Park.
The original 1939 first floor is filled with natural light and features hardwood floors, a formal dining room with built-in China cabinets, half-bath, a screen porch and a fireplace.
The 1965 addition to the home features on the first floor an enormous picture window lined kitchen with two gas stoves connected to a den complete with a wet bar and a wood burning Franklin stove and half-bath.
Upstairs you will find five bedrooms and two full baths accessible from the hallway. The bedroom suite has a walk-in closet and its own private three-quarter bath. The finished third floor attic offers an additional 350 square feet not included in the total count that could serve as an in-law apartment, guest bedroom area, office or storage space.
The huge lower-level rec room, dry bar, wine cellar and workshop provide plenty of room for entertainment, hobbies, exercise and storage. The cement patio and a fully fenced back yard provide plenty of space for resident activities and entertaining. This home is just a short golf cart ride from both Meadowbrook and Interlachen golf courses and the neighborhood park.
The two-car finished garage is insulated for winter mechanical or hobby endeavors. The long cement driveway and pull-off can accommodate an additional three vehicles.
The home is located within the highly rated Hopkins School District 270 public school system. The private K-12 Blake School is also walking distance from this home.
This home is unrenovated but move-in ready. HVAC includes two redundant gas furnaces with boilers for radiated heat and two wall unit air conditioners. The 1939 home is served by a Burnham Series 2A natural gas furnace manufactured in 1987 heating classic radiators. The 1965 addition has a Burnham Series 3 natural gas furnace installed in 2014 and baseboard radiators. The kitchen retains its original wood cabinetry, Formica countertops and original linoleum floor. Ambitious homesteaders and renovators may consider this house a "blank slate" upon which to sketch their custom dream home with energy tax credit subsidized heat pumps, ducted central air, upgraded flooring, bathrooms and other modern infrastructure. Or simply move today in to enjoy all that Interlachen Park has to offer!
