Originally built in 1910, this stunning Craftsman underwent a comprehensive renovation by Rally Cap Properties in 2017. The renovation included numerous permitted improvements, including updated electrical + plumbing systems + HVAC, while preserving the original architectural details that make this home so special. Ideally located between the Historic Drake neighborhood + Beaverdale, you'll enjoy easy access to neighborhood restaurants, shopping, + beautiful Witmer Park just a short walk away. A welcoming full-width front porch leads into a spacious living room featuring original built-ins + a cozy fireplace. The adjoining dining room flows seamlessly into the beautifully updated kitchen w/ quartz countertops, white Shaker cabinetry, a Kohler farmhouse sink, subway tile backsplash, + stainless steel appliances. The main level also features a convenient mudroom w/ stacked laundry, a vintage cast-iron utility sink, + a ¾ bath. Upstairs, you'll find 3 bedrooms showcasing original trim + new hardwood floors, along w/ a beautifully renovated full bath featuring a reclaimed wood vanity + refinished clawfoot tub. The semi-finished lower level provides additional flexible space for a family room, home office, workout area, or playroom. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard, a detached two-car garage, + additional off-street parking in front of the home. As an added bonus, the tax abatement remains in place through 2028, making this beautifully restored home an exceptional value.
