About This Home
As of July 2025Step into the timeless charm of this 1919 home, located just blocks from the heart of Historic Independence Square. A wide front porch welcomes you—an ideal spot for a porch swing and quiet morning coffee. The original front door and vintage handle offer a nostalgic first impression, opening into a generous entryway that flows into the living spaces. The main floor features 9-foot ceilings and an open, airy layout. Natural light pours in through newer windows, while the inviting fireplace creates a cozy focal point. The spacious dining room easily fits a large family table—perfect for gatherings and memory-making. Thoughtful details, like a built-in reading bench under the windows, add a touch of charm. The kitchen offers plenty of storage and connects to a mudroom area complete with extra cabinets, counter space, and pantry. All stainless-steel appliances remain, as do the washer and dryer—conveniently located on the main level, along with a full bathroom.
Upstairs, the grand staircase leads to the private bedroom level. The light-filled primary bedroom includes a flexible adjoining space—perfect for a home office, nursery, or sitting room. A second bedroom offers access to a sunroom, formerly a classic sleeping porch. The full bath upstairs includes charming built-in storage. On the third floor, a spacious third bedroom rounds out the home. An additional bonus is many of the big ticket items are completed- Roof and HVAC only 7 years, newer thermal windows and sewer line recently replaced from house to street along with a new driveway. Rich in character and stories, this home has stood proudly for over a century. Imagine becoming part of its legacy—just steps from a vibrant, revitalized city square. Come take a look—you just might fall in love.
