About This Property

This welcoming home blends timeless vintage charm with thoughtful updates and flexible living spaces. Original hardwood floors, vintage trim work, crown molding, chair rail, and original doors with skeleton key details create warmth and character throughout. Updated picture windows fill the home with natural light and improve efficiency while preserving the home’s classic appeal. The spacious main living room area offers versatility and could easily function as separate living and dining spaces. A gas log hookup sits on the hearth in the living room. Just beyond, a glass door opens to a room that has been used in the past as dining & a bedroom, featuring a gas log fireplace and built-in shelving that would also make an ideal coffee bar area. A compact half bathroom of sort is tucked under the stairs, adding convenience and options to the main level. The kitchen features granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, pull-out spice racks, and a designated coffee/wine bar area. A back entry area has been utilized as a breakfast nook or drop zone with additional cabinetry and butcher block counters. Ceramic tile flooring continues into the bathroom, which includes a spacious tiled walk-in shower. A large laundry room sits behind an attractive barn door and doubles as excellent storage space. Upstairs you’ll find two sizable bedrooms with original hardwood floors and ample closet space, along with a flex room ideal for an office or playroom. The flex room features sliding barn doors and storage areas on both sides, one of which includes sheetrock purchased to finish additional space. Outdoor living shines with a deep, covered rocking-chair front porch and a large covered rear deck, perfect for entertaining. The deck includes a gas grill plumbed to a natural gas line and steps down to a beautiful, mostly fenced backyard with raised garden beds and a fire pit. The property includes two lots, creating an expansive yard that is mostly fenced. A large two-car detached garage with electric sits on the second lot. Additional features include a tankless water heater, updated windows, a walk-down cellar/crawlspace with professional structural support work completed to code and under warranty. Even the vintage back-door doorbell still works. A truly charming home that is comfortable and livable as-is, offering character, space, and flexibility in a setting that feels both inviting and full of history.
