At the bend of the Beaver River and nestled beside the Alum Rocks, this beautiful home was built in 1913 for the Burgess of New Brighton. This lovely, all brick home will charm you with its wonderful, oak stairwell banisters and woodwork throughout. A large, updated fireplace is located in the oversized living room and a delightful, original fireplace remains in the finished attic. Ceiling fans are in place in each bedroom, the living room and on the large, beautiful, screened in front porch. The home has first class, lifetime warranty windows throughout. An attractive, full sized bay window can be opened to air the large living room. A pantry is adjacent to the kitchen. A rear fence partitions in a nice back patio which bridges the rear door of the home and the side entrance to the garage. Intercoms are in place between rooms. Security lighting is strategically placed and a camera surveillance system monitors the property. The front and backyards are well manicured and the front of the home is surrounded by rose trellises and flower boxes. Three maple trees protect the front of the home from the bright morning sun. A wall of railroad ties and row of young evergreen trees parallel the driveway. The completely finished full attic and semi-finished full basement provide endless opportunities for workshops, family rooms, bedrooms, offices, storage, etc. And the over-sized "garage and a half" is made of sturdy concrete block which was newly painted in 2013 and matches the home. An automatic garage door opener and intercom back to the house are wonderful additions. There you have plenty of room for storage, tools, etc. Additional storage is available in the sturdy garage rafters. The home has been updated over the years with recent upgrades to wiring, roofing, downspouts, insulation, gutters, soffit and fascia, etc. The first floor bath and laundry room were completely upgraded in 2014 including flooring, plumbing and electric. Second floor bathroom and kitchen upgrades were underway in 2014 and include new appliances including an amazing whirlpool tub. A 200 amp electric service was added in 2013 along with a wheelchair elevator on the side of the home for handicapped access. Central air, an ultra high efficiency, multi-stage furnace and home humidifier were installed in 2012. A high efficiency, power vented hot water tank was placed in 2017. Only two blocks from the completely updated downtown business district, one can easily walk to the Post Office, shops, restaurants, the magnificent Merrick art gallery, churches, a supermarket, pubs, banks, etc. This magnificent home is located in a safe and very nice neighborhood with good neighbors and maybe that's why only two families have ever lived in this lovely and unique home in its one hundred plus year history.
