About This Home

As of November 2022

This is one of the coolest houses in the city! I'm sure you've admired it as you've driven past over the years. This large all-stone two-story is loaded with character and uniqueness. It served as a dental office for many years so the floor plan isn't typical, but still offers so many great options for your lifestyle. You enter into a large room I am calling a den that has a convenient powder room attached. This room is very bright and has a unique parquet floor. There is a breakfast room and a room that I am calling a pantry off the kitchen. The pantry is loaded with cabinets and counter space for more kitchen workspace and includes a sink. The living room is spectacular with oak flooring and lots of natural light from a bump out window. There is a knotty pine wall with built in display shelves and a nice wood burning fireplace. A beautiful room. This leads to the dining room and kitchen. The dining room has the neatest chandelier and includes built in cabinets. Cute kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, and stainless fridge. Really cool wrought iron railing leading to the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor has fantastic bedroom sizes and a huge full bath with tile floor, partial tile walls, and large linen closet. Loads of character! The executor believes there is hardwood under the carpet but you'll have to verify that. The home can use some updating but overall is very well kept and offers one-of-a-kind features. Large full basement with outside entrance for tons of storage and potential. On the outside there is really nice mature landscaping and the yard is mostly fenced. Amazing covered side porch making a great place to relax. There is also a patterned concrete patio for a nice private spot to grill and entertain in the outdoors. The oversized stone garage and an off-street parking spot make parking easy! The home has economical gas heat and central air. Not at all what you'd expect to find but you will be pleasantly surprised.
