This expanded Lyon Village Colonial is perfectly positioned along the coveted Orange Line Metro corridor, offering the best of urban convenience and timeless architectural appeal. With its classic brick facade and symmetrical Colonial Revival design, this home is a prime example of the craftsmanship of renowned architect/builder Frederick (Fritz) E.

The home has been thoughtfully expanded by the current owner, who oversaw the addition of a spacious kitchen and upper level primary suite with balcony overlooking the rear yard. From the welcoming foyer, hardwood floors lead you into the formal living and dining rooms, where the home's warmth and elegance shine. The living room, located at the front of the house, boasts a fireplace and built-in bookshelves, and connects seamlessly to both an office/den and a generous great room at the rear. The kitchen and family room addition is a bright and open space with vaulted ceiling, offering an eat-in area surrounded by large windows that flood the room with natural light. Adjacent, the great room features additional built-ins and French doors that open to the charming rear patio--perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. A conveniently located guest bath completes the main level. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary suite, accompanied by three additional well-sized bedrooms.
