About This Home

As of January 2016

Priced to sell, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is down $10,000 in price in a short time and features all of the character one would expect from this vintage, but has many updates and an addition that make it a standout home, well-appointed for modern living. First the character: beautiful hardwood floors, oversized crown moldings, original woodwork, crystal door knobs, and built-in shelving and cabinetry. Next, the updates, which include a new furnace and roof in 2011, new water heater and all new plumbing throughout the lower level in 2014, three new windows and a new dishwasher in 2013, and a rebuilt fireplace chimney, new sidewalk, new paint, and new privacy fence in 2015. The family room and bathroom addition at the back of the house creates a primary living space open to the rest of the house and a 3/4 bath (shower, no tub) on the main level. Fenced back yard. 2-car garage. This home is truly an unbelievable value!
