About This Home

YOU KNOW IT'S CAUGHT YOUR EYE! This circa 1940 Broadmoor home across from the park, lovingly expanded by its thirty-six yr owners, is truly special. Whether you’re on your welcoming front porch, sipping something cold, or out back in your New Orleans-style brick courtyard, roasting Smores with your children, Southern outdoor living in Broadmoor is good. In this Craftsman home, complete with original details such as glass doorknobs and handcrafted woodwork, you will find three spacious living areas for family and guests, two renovated bathrooms with super products, and five roomy bedrooms. The downstairs master includes a big walk-in closet and an exquisite bath with a large freestanding tub, heated marble floors in master bath, master-crafted wainscoting, and a custom vanity topped with quartzite and polished nickel fixtures. Adjoining the master is a bright sunroom, office featuring a large window, built-ins, and French doors that open to the quiet courtyard. With another set of French doors leading into the den, you have a variety of uses for this room. The cozy yet large den is grounded by rich hardwood flooring and features a wood-burning fireplace, flanked by cabinetry and shelving, with plenty of space for dining and gatherings. The hardworking kitchen has a dual fuel 36in range oven with griddle and custom Welbourne cabinetry, a creamy tile backsplash, brick paver looking, open shelves, & accent lighting. All of the appliances remain and a seller provided AHS warranty complete for the first 2 years. The formal dining area contains an original bay window and custom wainscoting characteristic of the home. A staircase leads to the bedrooms above, and both contain mini split HVAC units for perfect temperature control. Don’t miss the best of Broadmoor. You’ll be amazed at what this historic one-of-a-kind home has to offer! Wait, there's more, a whole home generator , brick paved patio with fountain and a floored attic in the garage and ring camera stays.
