Introducing 1115 Prospect Avenue, a stately and immaculately maintained stone colonial with impressive curb appeal thanks to its towering columns supporting a 2-story curved portico. This nearly 100-year-old home is ready for its second century with all new modern wiring, two-zone high efficiency air conditioning system, state-of-the-art high efficiency gas heating system, full house backup generator, energy-efficient kitchen appliances and completely remodeled finished basement.

As you approach the home, you pass the beautifully landscaped grounds before stepping under the portico and into the wide center hall. You immediately notice the original hardwood floors and other classic architectural features. A wide archway leads into the spacious living room to the right that is anchored by a large stone fireplace. Natural light streams into the space through its wide bank of windows and three sets of French doors. Across the hall, you'll find the formal dining room —ideal for hosting large dinner parties or quieter family meals.
It is tastefully decorated with frame molding and another set of French doors.

You may choose to eat less formal meals in the cozy breakfast room that has a pair of identical built-in hutches. The bright and cheery kitchen has white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, new windows and a portable island that provides extra storage and prep space. A powder room tucked under the staircase completes the first level.

On the second level, there are four large bedrooms, two of which share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The large hall bathroom connects to one of the bedrooms.

The entire third level which has two bedrooms and a full bathroom is currently used as a private owner's suite with. The floor remains comfortable year-round thanks to the state-of-the art HVAC system.

The basement provides additional living space which has been meticulously renovated with the health and safety of the owner's children in mind since it is used as a playroom. The space was gutted and remodeled using mold resistant drywall and sealer. A radon remediation system was also installed as a precaution even though radon levels were below EPA recommendations for mitigation. The laundry room is also located in the basement.

There is as much to love about the outdoor space this property offers. Imagine relaxing on your covered porch with a glass of iced tea or gathering with friends around a fire pit near the paver patio. The level, private backyard has endless potential to be used for gardening, playing ball, hosting cookouts or catching fireflies on a summer night.

Park your car or take advantage of the additional storage space in the 2-car detached garage. The garage was completely rewired in 2018 at the same time the house was rewired --removing all knob & tube wiring.
