Welcome to 5 Elmwood Avenue, a lush oasis in the Granite City. While being only a stone’s throw into the heart of the city, this property has the feel of being far out into the countryside. Cedar trees line the street giving the yard an immediate sense of privacy and calm. Here, perhaps you’ll try your hand at gardening in the established raised beds, or practice your backstroke in the inviting in-ground pool. Or maybe you’ll slow down so that you can finally crack in to your next novel on the back porch while sipping tea and taking in the morning light. While the grounds are full of possibility, the inside is completely turnkey. Contemporary renovations and updates meld perfectly with the old world charm that resonates from the inside out. Natural light pools in from the large windows to highlight original woodwork and hardwood floors. The large and fully updated kitchen boasts butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of space to gather and host. Upstairs are four bright and spacious bedrooms with access to a third floor loft should one desire to expand the already generous finished space. As you begin to let the peace of this place fully sink in, don’t forget to allow some excitement to build as you start planning your next chapter here at 5 Elmwood Ave. Schedule your private viewing today.
