About This Home

As of May 2026

Character and charm shine throughout this classic four-square home, ideally situated on a desirable corner lot. Step inside to a spacious and light-filled living and dining area, where the owner has thoughtfully restored the original ceiling height—highlighting stunning stained glass above the bow picture window and bringing timeless character back to life. The kitchen is full of personality, reflecting a creative, eclectic style with refreshed cabinetry, newer appliances, and a cozy built-in bench with storage -- perfect for casual dining. Just off the kitchen, the screened-in porch offers a relaxing retreat for morning coffee, casual meals, or effortless entertaining. The main floor includes two bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet, along with a convenient three-quarter bath. Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms and a truly eye-catching full bath complete with a cast iron soaking tub and chandelier—adding a touch of vintage glam. A storage closet provides added functionality on the upper level. The basement offers abundant storage space, a shower, and has been recently painted for a clean, refreshed feel. Outside, the property continues to impress with extensive landscaping beginning to bloom for spring. A weeping pussy willow and weeping birch tree enhance the front yard, while the fenced backyard includes a detached garage and storage shed. Newer vinyl siding, shingles, and gutters add peace of mind. A unique blend of historic charm and modern updates—this home is ready to welcome its next owner.
