Bet you were thinking there's not a home large enough to house your loud, energetic family. But maybe there is? Check out this solid brick 2 story home on a hill in Frankford, originally 6 bedrooms to house MY very large, loud family. You won't find any over the top finishes here. What you will find is over 3,500 square feet of uber-practical living space. Enough to lose your phone and possibly a sibling or two. You'll note the opportunities right away, starting with the oversized garage with its rear party door opening up to the back patio and expansive covered deck. Perfect for Sunday BBQs and family reunions. The mud/laundry room runs from the front of the house to the back which is a pretty handy shortcut if you're involved in a game of tag outside. The big comfortable living room and a separate library gives room for both quiet and not so quiet conversations. (Let's face it, there were no quiet conversations.) Also a great main floor bedroom if needed. There's also a full bathroom on this level. The updated kitchen is full of bulletproof finishes and great storage, including a wall of pantry cabinets and windows all around, offering views of this 5 acre property. Upstairs, you could take the stair lift up to the front to back primary suite with its double closets, coffee station,sitting area and 4 piece ensuite. Across the hall there's a self contained 1 bedroom in-law suite with a kitchen and laundry machines. (This used to be 3 bedrooms, one of which was easy to sneak out from.) The walkout basement features a full bathroom and a garage just large enough for your motorcycle or smart car. With its own parking area and entrance, it would easily convert to another suite. The sink and the stove hookup are already in. This home may be the most trend-resistant you'll come across. It's a real-life, reliable home that has seen decades of chaos, family dreams, drama and re-carpeting - and it's standing strong, ready for your family(ies) to make it your own.
