About This Home
As of October 2021Welcome to 1502 N 15th - it needs a little updating but WOW, the potential is grand as well as its size. At over 1900 square feet, this solid stone home has plenty of room to host holidays and create everlasting family memories. The covered front porch is super inviting. The living room has loads of natural light as well as stained glass windows flanking a wood burning fireplace. Pass through to the Dining Room that also has a stained glass window highlighting the back wall. The kitchen is mostly original, has a built in pantry and plenty of space for a breakfast table (and yes, the old ironing board cabinet is still in the wall used now as a spice/can rack). One of two rear decks is off the kitchen. The second floor has four bedrooms (one is a walk through to the third floor, may want to use as a study) and a door to a second floor deck.. The third floor is where the previous owners had the master suite. We're told the home was a sock factory many years ago, so the basement has a hardwood floor and a half bath (and an old safe). A little sweat equity will go a LONG way in making this home a beauty for years to come.
