Welcome to this spacious five-bedroom Victorian home in the northwestern section of the city. Offering high ceilings, generously sized rooms and abundant living space, this well-maintained home has been thoroughly refreshed and prepared for its next owner. The entire interior and exterior were recently repainted. The original hardwood floors were beautifully refinished approximately five years ago, and the kitchen was remodeled approximately three or four years ago. The kitchen includes attractive, well maintained appliances. The home features five bedrooms, one full bathroom and one half bathroom with a convenient laundry hookup. All-new energy-efficient double-hung windows have been installed throughout the home. The main EPDM rubber roof was installed approximately four years ago, while the rear torch-down rubber roof was installed approximately six years ago. As part of the homes recent preparation for sale, both roofs were completely recoated with Henry silicone roof coating, providing an additional protective barrier and helping extend the roofs service life. The coating carries a 15-year manufacturers warranty, subject to the manufacturers terms and transferability requirements. The front and rear porches and decks were also carefully restored, sanded and newly stained. The home is heated by a gas-fired boiler, and the electrical system is served by a circuit-breaker panel. With its spacious layout, original Victorian character, new windows, protected rubber roofs and extensive interior and exterior improvements , this move-in-ready home offers an outstanding opportunity for its new owner.
