## Description

### Agent Description
Character, character, character. That is the hallmark of what makes a well-cared for older home feel special. The residence at 3719 Cottage Grove Avenue offers an ideal blend of timeless historic charm, original character, details and finishes with a flexible floorplan you can customize for how you want to live today and in the future! A large enclosed front porch provides a serene retreat - from a plant-filled solarium to a relaxing seasonal sitting room. When you step inside, stunning woodwork envelopes you: gorgeous hardwood floors, trim, built-ins, paneling and working pocket doors! The main floor features a formal living room with corner fireplace, spacious dining room with built in buffet, bright, oversized kitchen with mudroom and access to a generous, shaded outside deck, a bonus room, with adjoining full bathroom, that can be used as a 4th bedroom, primary suite, guest room, or office. Upstairs, 3 spacious bedrooms and a second full bath - with a separate entry and ensuite, continue the benefits of this flexible layout. Laundry, storage and flex spaces in the dry basement. New roof in 2017. HVAC replaced in 2021/22. Outside Storage shed and playhouse. Located on the west side of the Drake Neighborhood, this walkable area is just a few blocks from the Uptown Center shops and Hy-Vee and the Annual Greek Festival. The opportunities are endless - the choices are all yours. This home is eligible for Invest DSM grants for upgrades and improvements such as adding a garage.
