About This Home
As of July 2025Since purchased in 2019, this beautifully restored property has undergone extensive whole-house renovations with modern updates while preserving historic charm. Recent improvements include new electrical (knob & tube replaced), 2 new a/c units, new water heater and furnace, and refinished original hardwood floors throughout.
The expanded kitchen is double the original size featuring 9 new windows, new cabinetry, and all new appliances. Both bathrooms have been completely renovated, with the upstairs bath boasting a skylight and sun tunnel. Additional upgrades include blown-in insulation, recessed lighting, restored historic windows, and an open stairway design.
The property sits on top tier landscaped grounds with regraded backyard, French drain system, custom deck, fire pit area, and hundreds of newly planted landscaping features.
Final touches just completed include new roof, exterior paint, and front porch reconstruction - ensuring this home is truly turnkey for its new owners. Tax abatement transfers with the property and will save the new owner thousands of dollars over the years to come.
