About 1140 Allison Avenue

The one you've been waiting for! Your own piece of Walker history that's been completely updated for your future memories in the highly sought-after Kenowa Hills school district. Every inch of this stunning 1928 Craftsman has been lovingly restored while maintaining all of its original, beautiful craftsmanship. The exterior brick has been painted with Romabio mineral paint designed for masonry which actually strengthens and protects the brick and will provide a worry-free finish for years on end. The large front porch greets you with hand-painted floral motifs and ample space for a porch swing. As you step into your new home, you'll instantly be welcomed by the original hardwood floors and gorgeous wood banister and stairs, all of which are in amazing condition. Upstairs you will find 3 spacious, freshly-painted bedrooms with large walk-in closets like you will not find in other 98 year old homes. The bathroom has received a full makeover from floor to ceiling. The main floor boasts a large and beautiful living room, set apart by 2 sets of original glass French doors. Close them for more privacy or open them up for a seamless flow from foyer to dining room. The fully modernized and renovated kitchen is the star of the show with all new stainless steel appliances, stunning new floors, custom-painted real wood cabinets, and beautiful gold hardware. The matching chandelier in the dining room and kitchen pendant light add elegance and beauty. Head down to the basement for a comfy family room as well as tons of storage! A spacious laundry room with utility sink and cabinets also await in the basement as well as a completely renovated basement bathroom that the whole family will love. Enjoy the space of the unfinished part of the basement as is, or add your own special touch. It can be used as a non-conforming bedroom or could easily be turned into a true 4th bedroom. Then enjoy your backyard oasis where almost 3/4 of an acre will greet you with countless flowers and lush green grass. There are fruit-bearing apple and pear trees as well as blackberry bushes and occasionally wild raspberries. Varied and beautiful flowering plants appear throughout spring and summer. Enjoy evenings on your patio surrounded by a breathtaking canopy of trees where you would never know that all the amenities of city life are just a few minutes away.
