About the Listing BHSP17 - WOLFD3
Step into a truly distinguished Alton residence where historic grandeur and modern updates are seamlessly intertwined. The home offers a Colonial Revival style with a hint of Neoclassical detailing. A sweeping front staircase creates an unforgettable first impression, welcoming guests with timeless elegance, while a secondary rear butler’s staircase offers both charm and everyday convenience. The home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, beginning with a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring new tile floors, countertops, backsplash, appliances, and lighting—designed to meet the expectations of today’s buyers while complementing the home’s classic character. Fresh paint across the first and second floors, including walls, ceilings, and woodwork, provides a crisp, cohesive aesthetic. Entertain in style in the formal dining room, highlighted by a gas fireplace, original hardwood floors, and exceptional millwork, or relax in the inviting living room with its wood-burning fireplace and equally stunning craftsmanship. A light-filled sunroom with new oak flooring and custom-lined drapes offers the perfect space for year-round enjoyment. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring an updated three-quarter bath with an oversized shower and an adjacent dressing room or nursery. A second ensuite bedroom also includes an updated bath, while a recently renovated full bath serves the additional bedrooms and a spacious gathering room—ideal for flexible living arrangements. One bedroom overlooks the pool, while another offers versatility as a nursery or private office. The home’s character continues with a striking staircase leading to a semi-finished third-floor space, presenting excellent potential for future expansion, studio use, or additional living quarters. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a large salt water in-ground pool surrounded by a patio and expansive entertaining area. A three-car detached garage, irrigation system and generous off-street parking add both convenience and functionality to this exceptional property. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated historic home that offers architectural significance, modern comfort, and exceptional indoor and outdoor living in one of Alton’s most desirable settings.
