About This Home
As of June 2025If you are looking for more than just a house, and would love to find a HOME that is brimming with true character throughout, then you have just found it! Nestled in the highly coveted FOUNDERS GROVE area, in the WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY school boundaries, this lovely American Four-Square is waiting to wrap you in comfort. This is where old-world charm meets all of the creature comforts of the modern era. The appearance and feel is nothing short of breathtaking... The detailed trimming around the full-length window in the front door is waiting to welcome you into a world of natural woodwork. The stairs, the handrail, the newel post, the solid wood doors, the built-in full-length mirrors, the box panels, and box beams -- all intact, and ready to impress! Hardwood floors, window seat, large picture windows, high-mounted windows for natural light, built-in natural wood plate rails, hand-crafted custom counters in the most adorable farmhouse kitchen with a custom-built breakfast area, a bathroom on every level, built-in storage, a very large master bedroom with a sitting area and walk-in closet... This place has it all. There is a large covered front porch, with quite a bit of privacy. There is also a four-seasons room in the back, complete with ventless gas fireplace (flue pipe is decorative -- not necessary). The backyard is a private oasis of greenery and flowers, with a water feature and a fire pit area, just begging to host your next barbeque. While garages are normally hard to find with historic style homes, this one actually comes complete with a nice, modern garage, and... It is situated to the Alley, instead of Oakland Avenue! By the way, the alley is actually PAVED, so it does get plowed by the city! If you are a garden lover, this nearly quarter-acre lot has plenty of room for your hobby. In fact, there is already a garden space at the back of the property. The current owners have spent 36 years caring for this home, and they have been wonderful stewards. There are far too many updates to list here, but the electrical, plumbing, roof, siding, several windows, furnace and A/C, and water heater are all recent. Another important note: in their 36-year tenure, the current owners have never needed a sump pump. :-) If you are craving charm and unique character, at a price-point that is actually affordable in the crazy market, YOU HAVE JUST FOUND YOUR HOME!
