As of October 2025So much character & charm in this stunning 1925 Victorian home, bursting with personality and craftsmanship. This one-of-a-kind 2-story offers 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 4 car garage and over 2,400 SF of beautifully finished living space. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a stunning entryway w/ rich hardwood floors & a grand open staircase framed by impressive oak trim. Enjoy 2 living areas; a formal living room featuring a cozy wood-burning fireplace & a relaxed family room, perfect for movie nights. The kitchen features SS appliances including a Kenmore Elite gas stove w/ hood, soft-close drawers/cabinets, Corian countertops, wall oven and heated tile floors. Laundry & 1⁄2 bath located off the kitchen. French doors off the kitchen lead to a handy prep area with additional cabinetry and then on to a bright 3-season sunroom, updated with new flooring, windows, and electric heat. Step outside to a new, oversized concrete patio, ideal for entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a primary suite with a remodeled bathroom and an additional bath with an air-jet tub. Two staircases lead to the second floor, and a third takes you up to a finished attic, perfect as a 5th bedroom, office, or creative retreat. The walkout LL is partially finished w/ 2 non-conforming bedrooms, 3⁄4 bath, family room & workshop. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained home filled with warmth, history, and modern updates. Truly a must-see!
