Warm and cozy describes the home of Ben, Brenda and Rachael Asen at 5841 Pershing. As you tour the Asen’s notice three features which really sold them on this particular house.
Throughout the first floor is rich and attractive original woodwork. A favorite of the Asen’s is the especially lovely woodwork surrounding the stairway. To accent the feeling of traditionalism in this area, Ben and Brenda have placed an elegant antique piano to the left of the entry way.
The original art glass windows in the dining room are the second item which attracted the Asens. Amidst a completely modernized kitchen you’ll find the third item of interest, an original, floor to ceiling hutch which has been preserved.
Although their house was renovated when they bought it in 1975, Ben and Brenda have added decorative touches of wallpaper in the kitchen and bathroom and have recently installed wall-to-wall carpeting throughout the upstairs.
The second floor contains Ben and Brenda’s bedroom, Rachael’s nursery, Ben’s study and a bathroom. Each of these rooms is consistent with the warm and cozy feel that permeates the entire house and makes it one you’ll thoroughly enjoy seeing.
