Situated on a rare half-acre lot near Doling Park, this remarkable in-town property seamlessly blends historic charm with expansive modern living. Originally built in 1892 and significantly expanded in 2004, the home offers generous space, thoughtful design, and one-of-a-kind character throughout. Home is being sold as-is.Inside, you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms (could easily be four bedrooms) and 3 and a half bathrooms, complemented by rich wood details and timeless craftsmanship in every room. The impressive primary suite, added in 2004, serves as a true retreat--featuring a beautifully appointed full bath, a nice-sized closet, skylights, vaulted ceilings, and elegant French doors that open onto a serene sun porch. The suite also connects to a private office, which could easily function as a fourth bedroom with minimal modification. Most of the house is floored with hardwood!The kitchen is designed for both function and convenience, offering abundant storage and workspace. Just steps away, a butler's pantry provides the perfect place for organizing food, small appliances, and cookware. An attached two-car garage opens directly into this space, making everyday tasks like unloading groceries effortless.One of the most exceptional features of this property is the massive attached heated and cooled workshop located on the opposite side of the garage. This versatile space includes a large central workbench, extensive storage, a dedicated stairway to an attic loft, and its own garage door. A convenient half bath in the shop ensures functionality without needing to return to the main home.Outdoors, the property is equally inviting. Mature catalpa trees and blooming rose bushes enhance the landscape, while the partially privacy-fenced backyard offers a shaded, peaceful setting--perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family and friends.
