Description
Welcome to 6803 N 12th Street. A classic, timeless home located on a fabulous block in the desirable and prestigious East Oak Lane neighborhood. As you approach the home, you are greeted with the home's stunning curb appeal, lovely locally sourced stone, and pristine slate roof. Ascend the main large stone steps, flanked with original stone detailing, and enter the massive enclosed front porch, perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The oversized main entry door features a large glass window and is framed by two large, ornate sidelights. As you enter the home, the original wood flooring, detailed moldings, and gorgeous wide staircase immediately grab your attention. The elegance and history become apparent from the moment you enter. To the right of the entryway is a grand living space. This large space could be a grand entertaining space, a beautifully designed living room, or a combination of both. This room contains one of the three fireplaces in the home, all with beautifully ornate and detailed Mercer tile. Look closely at the tile to truly feel the history of the home. To the left of the entryway is a formal living room, with an adjoining half bath. This room has beautiful inlays in the hardwood flooring, and also has a Mercer tiled fireplace with a lovely mantle. The dining room of the home is adjacent to the kitchen, and offers multiple windows, and a view of the large, level rear yard of the home. A butler's pantry, with plenty of storage, leads you into the kitchen, complete with gas hookups, and large windows with deep sills. A rear room houses laundry, and could function as an office space, art room, or whatever your heart desires. An enclosed rear porch overlooks your backyard oasis. This area is perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks as you overlook the expansive outdoor space (much larger than others). Ascend the main staircase to the second floor, and you will be amazed by the sheer size of the landing, the detailing of the moldings, the built-in storage bench under the large window, and the general craftsmanship that adorns every nook and cranny. This level houses 4 very large bedrooms, and is complete with 2 full bathrooms, each with a tub and shower, and windows for natural light. One of the bedrooms has the final fireplace (again, look closely to see the details), and each room has plenty of storage space and closet(s). The rear staircase brings you to the 3rd floor, where walk-in closets, storage nooks, and 3 more large bedrooms await. The full bath on this level has a beautiful clawfoot soaking tub and a unique "hallway" leading to a fun half-moon window. The full basement is unfinished, but it is dry, has tall ceilings, and water and electric, so finishing this space, or sections, would be a breeze. The detailing, moldings, unique features, size, and location make this home stand apart from the rest. Come see it today to truly understand its charm and appeal.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
