About this home
Perched proudly at the top of the hill, this charming 1916 Victorian blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Offering 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, this home sits on a generous 55 x 208 lot, providing both space and privacy, highlighted by a fully fenced backyard—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or gardening. A large, inviting front porch sets the tone, offering the perfect spot for a porch swing where you can unwind and take in the elevated views. Inside, the home showcases its historic charm with original woodwork and a beautifully crafted wood staircase that immediately captures your attention. The spacious living room features a classic, old-style fireplace that adds to the home's vintage appeal (unused by the current owner and not warranted). The main level has been updated with flooring installed over the original hardwood, while upstairs you’ll find hardwood floors throughout the hallway and bedrooms, preserving the home’s authentic feel.
The layout offers convenience and functionality, with a half bath located just off the kitchen on the main level and a full bathroom upstairs. A finished back entry porch adds everyday practicality and charm, creating a welcoming transition space that’s ideal for coats, shoes, or a cozy sitting nook. Replacement windows upstairs bring in natural light while improving efficiency. A large, unfinished attic provides excellent potential—whether you envision additional living space or simply need ample storage. The unfinished basement adds even more versatility, offering the perfect space for storage, a home workout area, or a reliable shelter during storms. Outside you will enjoy the backyard from the deck, a perfect spot for outdoor dining or relaxing while overlooking the fenced yard. Completing the property is a detached 24 x 26 garage with updated electrical and overhead doors, offering both convenience and versatility. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a roof replacement in 2020 and a replaced sewer line. This home is a rare opportunity to enjoy classic Victorian elegance with the benefits of modern improvements, all in a desirable hilltop setting. FYI>>>SELLER is boxing up so please excuse. Retiring or would not be selling this home! DON’T WAIT!...
