This spacious, beautifully renovated home is located on Fowler's historic brick road on a nearly half an acre lot! Remodeled down to the studs throughout significant sections, 809 E 5th Street combines the best of two worlds: the charm of a well-aged manor house with original wood and stained glass features, and the convenience of a much younger build with many modern updates. Step into the expansive and welcoming entryway and the wide staircase will immediately draw your eyes with its detailed woodwork. The main-level includes 9+ and 10+ foot ceilings, arched doorways, brand-new windows (apart from a few eye-catching original pieces), a large living room with plenty of natural light, a large dining room with a lovely mantlepiece, a dedicated laundry room and a half bathroom for visitors. The large kitchen offers granite countertops, new appliances and a tile backsplash. The convenient main-floor bedroom features a private ensuite and walk-in closet. On the upper floor, you'll find a cozy reading nook, 3 more big bedrooms, stained glasswork and a large full bathroom with double vanities. Savor peaceful warm weather evenings while sitting on your wrap-around covered front porch or on the newly poured concrete back patio! The property also includes a 2-car detached garage with opener, as well as new siding, new gutters, new water heater, new furnace, new A/C, new plumbing system, new electrical system, and a clean unfinished basement for extra storage. A home with such exceptional character is a rare treasure, so claim this gem as your own today before someone else does!
