Have you always wanted to live on a street lined with stately homes and well-established trees overhanging the street?  44th St is one of those streets!   This home has the turn of the century classics; a covered front porch welcomes you to sit awhile;  oak built-ins,  woodwork and floors throughout;  spacious rooms; and a cozy den with wood burning fireplace.  The updated kitchen has granite counters, gas stove, and French door refrigerator. There's a butler's pantry off the kitchen and a back stairway. A mudroom as you come in the back door.   The four bedrooms on the second level all have oak hardwood floors, with lots of windows for natural light.  The main bathroom has been updated but kept the vintage look. The third story adds 528 sq ft of finished living space, perfect for and office, studio, teen hangout or kid's playroom.  It is heated and cooled by a mini-split system.  The homes on this side of the street have extra deep lots, just under 1/2 acre. Plenty of space for enjoying the outdoors screened from your neighbors in back.  The walkout basement is in good shape because of the foundation replacements;  the south side  in 1987 and the north side in 2014.
