About This Home
As of September 2019WOW! There's no other way to put it! Located in the heart of Eastown this 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath craftsman style home has all the character of a 100+ year old home with much of the ''major stuff'' updated. In the last 3 years, this home has had new a high-efficiency furnace & water heater installed, electrical service & panel, and added insulation to the attic. In the last 10 years, the home has had most windows replaced with Low-E versions, new roof, new plumbing, new electrical, new drywall throughout most of the home and insulation. Even though this home has many updates much of the original character remains, including hardwood floors, wood interior doors, beamed dining room ceiling, and mosaic tile. The basement is clean and dry and has had all windows replaced with glass block. Outside the front yard is a beautifully done and low-maintenance perennial garden, in the back you'll find a generous food garden and fenced-in-yard. There's also a 2-stall covered parking carriage house for off-street parking. Two different bus routes to downtown and walking distance to Eastown & East Hills restaurants and shops, as well as Aquinas and Wilcox park, make this home ideal for those looking to use their car less. Give us a call today before this one is gone!
