Charming Character Home Near University & Downtown This beautifully maintained home blends vintage charm with modern updates in an unbeatable location near the university and downtown. A walkway framed by mature hostas leads to an inviting front porch, shaded by trees and complete with a classic porch swing—perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. Inside, original hardwood floors and a refurbished staircase preserve the home's character, while an open floor plan enhances flow throughout the main level. The updated kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, custom subway tile backsplash, updated cabinets and counters, and a built-in custom dining nook. It seamlessly connects to the cozy living area with fireplace, dining room, and a flexible space ideal as a playroom, den, or office. The spacious dining room features a wall of windows overlooking the backyard and leads to a covered porch with a beadboard ceiling—an idyllic spot for relaxation. The large, fenced backyard includes a stone patio and firepit, perfect for entertaining. A detached one-car garage offers year-round use with heat and additional storage. It can easily serve as a gym, workshop, or be converted into an in-law suite. An additional storage space at the back of the garage has the potential to become a second covered porch. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a beautifully remodeled hall bath. The owner’s suite includes a custom walk-in closet and a luxury en-suite bath. The finished attic—with a window and closet—makes an ideal fourth bedroom filled with natural light. The finished basement adds even more living space, perfect for a game room, office, or second family room, with extra storage. Key upgrades include a new outdoor heat pump (2023), a tankless hot water heater, and more. This home truly offers the best of both worlds: timeless charm and thoughtful modern updates.
