About this home
This sweet, well-kept home has been treated to lots of fresh neutral paint. All the floors have been replaced with plank flooring or cushy wall to wall carpet. Inside and out, you'll find new, updated lighting. Location is in the heart of town, a short walk to post office, library, parks and middle school. The side-load garage is crazy large for an in-town location. It was built in 1986, has the largest 2 car garage door, Seller could find, but is the size of a 3 CAR and is extra deep too! In addition, the concrete pour & roof extends beyond the garage, which is currently used as a patio but could be a carport or walled in for another car, toys, workshop, or just extra storage. The house had a major rework with an addition in 1973. Owners eliminated the tiny rooms & closets typically found in old homes. The majority of the 1st floor was completely taken down to the studs. Floorplan was reconfigured to provide a great galley kitchen with pantry, 1st floor laundry with laundry closet, a foyer with walk-in closet, a huge family sized living room, 2 main floor bedrooms, and bath. (Truly, there are closets everywhere!) An additional bath and large closet were added to the 2nd floor as well. Since then, the kitchen & baths have had some important updates. Kitchen cabinets were just refinished & new lighting installed. The stainless sink has a new pull-down faucet. The main bath exchanged a tub for a walk-in shower, has a beautiful custom cabinet with a hamper and maple pull-out drawers, toilet & lighting replaced too. The half bath has new toilet, sink, counter, faucet, and lighting. Out in front, you'll love the darling porch, a great place to relax, unwind and watch the world go by. It also was a favorite space for a teen hang-out. The dining/breakfast room is surrounded by windows, light & bright all day, and is also a favorite space! Age of the mechanicals is approximated: Dishwasher 2 years, refrigerator - 5 years, washer & dryer -10 years but motor was replaced in dryer 2 years ago, cooktop and ovens - 1973 and are spotless in good working order. Furnace & CAC are unknown. Home also has two window units that predate the CAC. To save new owners from any unexpected repair costs, a CHOICE home warranty has been purchased. Roof is believed to be about 15 - 20 years into 35-year architectural shingles....
