As of October 2021If you are looking for a charming property to call home, you're in the right place! This early 1900s home has lots of character and is loaded with updates. Not only has this home been updated to be more aesthetically appealing, but major updates have been completed as well. All new electrical has been run, new insulation installed in the walls and crawlspace, and a new 3/4" copper water line run to the water main. In 2019, 2 new furnace and A/C units were installed, with a new water heater installed in 2018. The original hardwood floors were refinished, the sliding glass door replaced in 2018, and most windows replaced in 2017. The kitchen was beautifully remodeled in 2019, complete with brand new LG appliances. Perfect for entertaining, the large lot and spacious deck will accommodate many. The roof and 6-inch gutters are new in 2020, so all you need to do is bring your ideas for the enclosed front porch and you will feel right at home. Do not wait, call for a private showing today!
