This 1930-built classic awaits a new owner to love it! So much to love here! The arched front door and foyer with classic windows welcome you into this well-built and sturdy home. The huge living room has a fireplace and access to the enclosed front porch. What a beautiful room to sit and watch the sun come up! The big formal dining room and breakfast nook give lots of room for entertaining and the kitchen has classic cabinetry and fun built ins. It is believed that there are classic hardwoods under that carpet! Down the hall are (3) big bedrooms and an updated bathroom with low step in shower. Why there's even a laundry chute! Take a moment to look at the built-ins along the hallway wall and check out those classic glass door knobs! The big basement downstairs has a half-bath which can be reconnected and updated as you wish. The laundry hookups are along the west wall. The home has had some weatherization done by Western Egyptian which included new tilt-in windows, insulation and updated electric. Plumbing is mostly PVC. The roof and hvac system are around 16 years old, and the cedar shake siding could use an update. If you are looking for a sturdy home to add a few cosmetic touches to make it your own style, look no further. The big back yard has a one car garage and has alley entrance for off street parking. Give this one a look before it's gone!
