Welcome home to this remarkable home on Howard Avenue! The owners have made many upgrades while preserving many of the historic features of this home. Beautiful hardwood flooring adorns most of the home while a few rooms have tile flooring. The first floor features a living room with lots of natural lighting and leads to an office or den and a powder room. The large family room features 2 fireplaces and leads to the large wrap around porch. The formal dining room highlights a window seat and the original servants bell is still in the floor in working condition. The large butlers pantry leads to the 24 handle eat in kitchen. You can get to the second floor from the old stairs in the kitchen. In the warmer months enjoy the screened in sunroom off the kitchen. Going to the second floor you can't help but stop at the window seat and enjoy the view. The second floor features the primary bedroom with 2 closets and a primary bath with tile and a walk in shower. The 3 other bedrooms all have closets and ceiling fans. There is a sitting room that could be turned into a bedroom, large walk in closet, den or office. Another full bath and a large laundry room complete the second floor. The third floor features 2 bonus rooms; one currently is set up as an exercise room and the other as a bedroom. So many possibilities for these 2 rooms. There are 2 storage rooms as well. Both these storage rooms have drawings on them that the current owners never painted over because they are the art work of Artist Lewis Auchenbach when he was a child. Large basement for storage. Relax on the large wrap around porch. Level back yard. Brand new hot water heater.
