Located on one of the most beautiful & historically preserved streets in town, this charming Victorian home welcomes you with its timeless curb appeal, including a cottage like design, pleasing paint color, covered wrap around porch, and mature trees to give you that private oasis feel. This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, occupying two levels, with hardwood flooring throughout. Walk through the front door into the family room and you will immediately be awed by the gorgeous original hardwood floors that were recently refinished by the current owners. The tall ceilings & large, numerous windows, bordered by stately crown molding throughout the home, create a very open and airy feel, adding a sense of spaciousness to the historic charm. The family room centers around a newer wood stove that has been used by the current owners as their primary source of heat in winters, though forced air is an option for those only wanting to use the stove on occasion. The stove has been properly maintained and was professionally cleaned in December of 2020. The first level also includes a dining room, laundry room with nice front loading washer set, a full bath with tub/shower combination, kitchen with a gas range, and refrigerator/freezer combo- the space is filled with natural light. The first bedroom boasts its own exterior door to allow the private comings and goings of family members, friends, and/or roommates, or could act as the perfect setup for a vacation rental room to add extra income. The second and smaller room, affectionately called the “Lighthouse Room”, is bordered with windows and makes a great space for a home office, nursery, sitting room, sun room, or guest space, if not used as a full time bedroom. Going up the staircase to the second floor takes you to a very large & bright master bedroom, once again surrounded by windows. A large built-in dresser sits at the south end of the room, a nod to the era. Around the corner is a full bathroom with a tub. Next door to the bathroom, is the master closet space. Moving outdoors, the front porch is the perfect setting to enjoy a cold beverage on a sunny day, while listening to the resident birds and waving to the passerby. In addition to the calming, flowing water that the city “ditch” provides at the edge of the front lawn, it also gives you seasonal access to free water, allowing you to irrigate your property & keep your lawn & garden looking fantastic with no cost to you! There is a side yard on each side of the home, one of which has been used as a gathering space and a wildflower garden. Speaking of gardens, the backyard includes two large raised beds, put in last year, ready to work hard to grow you a bounty. There is also a fully enclosed shed that the owners believe to be original, and a 3 sided woodshed. The concrete slab is great for basketball players, serves as a flat weed-free surface for a patio table and grill, or would be a great foundation for adding a raised deck. There is off street, private parking just beyond the back fence. The area is also zoned to add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), with proper permits, if you want to build a garage and living area for extra storage, living space, and/or additional income opportunities. The home has been fully modernized with upgraded electric and plumbing. The water heater is brand new and was professionally installed in September of 2020. Half of the home’s original wood flooring has been resurfaced by the current owners, bringing out the hidden beauty that had been hidden under years of neglect. The owners will leave the materials to the buyers for the rest of the rooms to be completed. This home is for sale by owners. Please call or text (360) 593-3017 to schedule a home showing.
