2308 E MALL St

Welcome to Ardentown! This one of a kind home sits near the bottom of a quiet, dead-end street surrounded by nature! Approaching from the street, you'll immediately be drawn in by its impressive curb appeal. Enter the front door to find a spacious living area with an open layout and lots of natural light. Sliding doors provide easy access to the wraparound deck, perfect for outdoor entertaining! Built with ipe, (pronounced EE-pay, a hardwood from central/south America regarded for it's resistance to rot and insects) this deck will delight for years to come! A wood burning fire place is the focal point of the living room, and helps create a cozy ambience in the cooler months. From here, you'll find the wraparound staircase leading up to the library. With loads of built in shelving and floor to ceiling windows, this area is perfect for a home office, reading nook, or family room. 3 bedrooms, a full bath, and kitchen with outdoor access round out the main floor. A few steps at the rear of the home provide access to 2 more bedrooms and the second full bath. With some creativity, this area could likely be converted into an incredible owners' suite with private access to the rear deck. Plenty of storage is provided by 2 separate attics and a huge basement! Nature enthusiasts will fall in love with the outdoor space! Nearly a half acre of private property with mature plantings, and a short walk to Naaman's creek and 50+ acres of protected woodlands! All this in the eclectic and historic Ardens neighborhood, renowned for it's welcoming community and rich history in the arts. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity... schedule your tour today!
