This brick, Storybook Tudor cottage has been meticulously maintained and updated while retaining its original character throughout. From the arched doorways, natural woodwork, hardwood floors, door hardware, and chandelier to the beautiful fireplace this home boasts vintage charm. The floorplan has 1339 square feet of finished living area featuring spacious living and dining rooms. Entry to the home is from the large front porch into a foyer with coat closet. The upgraded half-bath off the entry is next to the secondary bedroom. The primary bedroom is large enough for a king-size bed. Both bedrooms have good-sized closets and all custom cabinetry in both will remain. The full bath is updated while preserving some original fixtures. A laundry chute in a kitchen cabinet means no carrying laundry downstairs. While the current laundry room is in the basement, there is a washer-and-dryer hookup in the linen closet in the hallway. The kitchen was fully gutted and remodeled in 2022 with custom cabinets, all new wiring and plumbing, Frigidaire Gallery double ovens, counter-depth refrigerator, gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher and ½ hp garbage disposal. All appliances will stay. The center island is on wheels and can be relocated. It contains a trash drawer and a separate area for more storage. Large drawers under the cooktop offer plenty of room for pots and pans. There is an Italian farmhouse sink, granite countertops and waterproof luxury vinyl tile flooring. Rear entry of the house is just a few steps away from the garage. All new back steps and porch were installed in 2018 in preparation for the 3-person hot tub that was added in 2019. A privacy fence along the driveway was installed in 2023 with a new concrete driveway in 2022 and insulated garage door with remote opener in 2017. The perimeter of the house is guarded by a black wrought iron fence. Access to the front porch is through a gate on the front steps. The north side yard has another gate near the back porch. An iron pergola at the side entrance has a pink climbing rose. This home features colorful garden plantings including a large variety of perennials and blooming trees. The roof of the house was a complete tear-off of the old shingles with replacement in 2017 with 50-year shingles. New gutters were installed in 2019. New central air conditioning was installed in May 2024 with exterior and interior air handler in the attic. Need more space? The basement contains a large laundry area, shop room, large pantry with shelves, an office room and a large walk-in closet. The water heater was new in 2017 and the water softener in 2020. The walk-up attic offers headroom enough to make extra rooms and has all newer windows, about 6 years old. Don’t miss the opportunity to view this quality built, well maintained and updated home.
