About This Home
As of October 2021This is the one! Stunning and spectacular home that is just loaded with character! Very well maintained home in a nice part of the community. Beautiful permablock/stone home with cozy front porch to relax on with mature landscaping and a gorgeous back yard. You will be knocked out by the oak floors and all of the original woodwork. The stone fireplace makes a nice focal point in the living room. I particularly love the partition storage between the living room and dining room. Spacious and cute dining room with original lighting fixture and gorgeous décor. The kitchen is bright and super stylish with white cabinets and marble counter tops. You will love the black and white tile floor. Yes, the exhaust fan actually vents to the outside! A bonus is the completely redone mudroom at the rear of the home. Lots of light and maintenance free vinyl flooring. This would make a nice spot to work from home or place a kitchen table. There is a cute full bath on this level with a shower. The rear yard is entirely fenced with firepit and a gas grill that is connected to the natural gas line. The 2-car garage was recently painted and comes with garage door opener and a brand new door. Plenty of access to the garage in the alley way, plus an off-street parking spot for more convenience. The bedrooms are all similar in size and space. They have wood flooring as well. Have I mentioned that all of the floors have been completely redone? One of the bedrooms goes out to a small 'porch' overlooking the rear yard and neighborhood. Very cozy and meticulously maintained, this home should check all of the boxes for you. Roof new in 2014, high-efficiency gas boiler that also includes your domestic hot water, Culligan softener and a reverse-osmosis system. The home has a huge attic for plenty of storage and this is where the central air unit is located. Nothing left for you to do but enjoy!
