This exquisite property, a true gem nestled downtown near the park, carries an alluring history. Built in 1950 by the Enloe family, this historic home has been meticulously restored and updated in 2007.
Boasting 7 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, it offers an ample space, perfect for a large family or as an income property. One of its main features is the finished basement that increases the functional area and adds more utility to the property.
The house has undergone extensive renovations to its electrical and plumbing systems, and comes with newer appliances. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is fully updated, providing year-round comfort. The newer roof, windows, light fixtures, and plumbing fixtures bring a contemporary touch while preserving the home's historical charm.
High-quality insulation has been added to the walls and attic to ensure energy efficiency, and fresh interior paint gives the house a pristine, welcoming feel. Much of the original wood and tile flooring has been preserved, adding a touch of vintage elegance to the home.
The kitchen, the heart of the home, features durable and stylish granite countertops.
This property is a fine blend of history, modern convenience, and aesthetic beauty - an exceptional opportunity for potential homebuyers or investors looking for a profitable rental property. OWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE.
