About This Home

As of October 2021

Preserved and well-loved vintage Bungalow, circa 1914 has charm and character to spare. Original footprint and design begins with a welcome front porch retaining wood columns and wood and glass sash. Enter to a formal foyer opening to main level living with original staircase leading upstairs . Impressive wood trim, doors and millwork intact include a terrific built-in hutch in the formal dining room. Finish your first floor tour in the kitchen, the heart of this home with access to a large deck and grassy backyard with space to play or garden or just relax.
Upstairs leads to 3 nice bedrooms and full bath. The large master bedroom faces front and has been freshly painted. In fact, this entire house has been painted within the past 3 years. A large hall closet has hatch access to the attic. There remains two family bedrooms and full bath that's been freshened with paint, flooring and snazzy accent wallpaper.
Mechanically sound, the house was converted to efficient natural gas heat and hot water(replaced within 3-6 years). Leased solar power was also added within the past 4 years. Sun Run Lease to transfer to the new owner at closing.
Recent improvements include first floor vinyl window replacement, new kitchen floor and brand new Stainless refrigerator. The single car garage with workshop or potting shed room recently improved with new roof, aluminum door and paint.
