About This Home
As of June 2025What a gem in the Founders Grove neighborhood! This beautifully cared-for home is sure to make you smile from its "old house charming feel" to all its extensive list of updates it has received in these last 20+ years of ownership. Gorgeous hardwood floors are to be found in the front entry and carry through the formal dining room and family rooms. Just on the other side of the family room's beautiful gas fireplace, you will find an addition that makes the perfect home office or reading room. Travel to the back of the home to find two wonderful surprises; first is the spacious and updated kitchen with white cabinets and Corian countertops, with all of its appliances (except for the microwave) remaining, including the refrigerator! Second, you will see the amazing three-seasons back porch with its abundance of windows, including two skylights. Completing the main level is a full bathroom and a pantry closet. Travel upstairs to find the gorgeous hardwood flooring continuing, along with 3 very nicely sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom is especially wonderful with its many windows and roomy closet. Don't miss the staircase to the attic in that roomy closet! There is also a second full bathroom on the second level, complete with its fantastic over-sized bathtub. The full basement is clean and dry and features a lovely laundry area (washer and dryer stay), mechanics and storage area, plus a finished room that has endless possibilities for its use. Heading out to the backyard, you will discover beautifully kept landscaping complete with a perennial garden. The two-car garage is car accessible from the alley and offers ample space for your vehicles and lawn care equipment. The city-approved carport will be staying with the home as well. Updates to this home include: HVAC replaced in 2012, water heater new in May 2025, roof on house new in 2005, roof on eastside addition new in 2016, roof on garage new in 2017, all windows replaced in 2004, kitchen remodeled in 2019. Plan your visit to this beautiful home soon! Its "heart of town", convenient location in charming Founders Grove makes this house the one you will want to call home!
