About this home
Originally built in 1900, this stunning home has been thoughtfully rebuilt from the studs up, preserving the beautiful original woodwork while adding the modern conveniences today’s buyers expect. Tucked away on a dead-end road and situated on a spacious double lot, this property offers both privacy and room to grow.
Step inside the enclosed front porch and through charming double doors into the warm and inviting living room and formal dining area—perfect for entertaining. The generously sized kitchen offers ample cabinetry, a convenient drop zone/laundry area, and plenty of storage throughout.
Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms plus a fourth non-conforming room that makes a perfect office or playroom. The finished attic, complete with an egress window, offers even more flexible space—ideal for a guest room, hobby area, or additional bedroom.
Top-to-bottom upgrades include triple-paned, extra-insulated Pella windows and doors, a new roof in 2023, and a water heater installed in 2022. All appliances stay for your convenience—just move in and enjoy.
Don’t miss the chance to own this rare gem blending classic craftsmanship with modern updates on a peaceful, oversized lot!
