Accessible from outside. This 2-Story Victorian farmhouse style home consists of a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a combination bathroom/laundry room, and a storage closet on the main floor, and two bedrooms on the 2nd floor (one bedroom does not have a closet). The house has had many period style renovations that retain vintage elements included 3-color exterior historical paint, fretwork, lightening rod, a covered front porch, and iron fencing on the exterior. The interior has been designed to include historical fretwork, wallpaper, light fixtures, and woodwork in the Victorian style. The eat-in kitchen has ample room for cooking and eating with painted cupboards (some have pull out shelves), a vintage-style tile backsplash and newer laminate countertops. Historical details abound inside including fretwork, oak woodwork, and antique light fixtures. The house includes 9-foot ceilings, original and refinished woodwork including a bay window with a window seat that opens for storage, an oak built-in entertainment unit from floor to ceiling, and a restored working wood-burning stove. The northwest bedroom on the main floor has a walk-in closet and period-style wallpaper, a period style light fixture, and refinished woodwork. The northeast bedroom has new woodwork and an armoire closet. The combination bathroom/laundry room includes a front-loading washer and dryer and a tub/shower tub surround. The bathroom sink sits in a converted antique dresser and there is a vintage toilet. There is a storage closet on the north side of the bathroom. The refinished wood staircase with carpet treads leads upstairs to the 2nd floor landing and two more bedrooms. These bedrooms have been freshly painted with new wall and floor paint. The northwest bedroom has a walk in closet, while the northeast bedroom does not, so it is considered non-conforming, but an armoire would quickly resolve that. This home sits on an oversized lot with a privacy fenced back yard complete with a Trex deck and a 4-person hot tub. The house roof and the A/C were replaced in 2018 and the garage roof was replaced in 2022. The detached garage includes a single garage stall and covered carport. It has an oversized shop/work area complete with a half bath. There is an extra fenced area on the north side of the garage and additional space on the north side of the
