This spacious property delivers an impressive combination of original craftsmanship, extensive updates, large double lot, and an oversized garage. You'll appreciate the home's extraordinary original gumwood craftsmanship, beautifully preserved throughout. Stunning gumwood trim, doors, built-ins, staircase details, and architectural accents create the warmth and character that simply cannot be replicated in newer construction.
The kitchen has been refreshed with new flooring, fresh paint, and brand-new appliances.
Throughout the home, the hardwood floors have been professionally refinished, beautifully complementing the original woodwork. Fresh paint throughout gives the entire home a clean, bright, move-in-ready feel.
Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms and a completely new full bathroom, providing plenty of room for family and guests. And an additional half bath adds convenience.
The home's living space continues onto the carpeted finished third floor, offering approximately 300 square feet of heated, bonus space. This large open room could make an ideal recreation room, playroom, home office, hobby space, media room, or private retreat.
The full basement is clean, spacious, and highly usable, with generous ceiling height and washer/dryer hookups. While unfinished, it provides abundant storage and additional utility space.
Outside, the property becomes even more appealing. Situated on a large double lot, the spacious partially fenced yard provides plenty of room for pets, gardening, outdoor activities, and entertaining. The oversized 2-car garage features sturdy concrete-block construction, electricity, and a brand-new garage door.
Major mechanical updates include a newer furnace, central air conditioning, and newer hot-water heater, providing important peace of mind. The home also features vinyl siding and newer replacement windows.
This is a rare opportunity to own a home offering the best of both worlds: beautiful original architectural character and extensive updates, all on an unusually spacious double lot with a large 2 car garage.
