Sellers have happily accepted an offer, but are willing to continue showings and consider back-up offers. It is 2020 after all and you just have to keep all your options open. When a home is inviting from the second you pull onto the historic brick paved road and then you see the the wide front porch saying "sit here as long as you want" and then you finally walk inside and the first thing you see are the huge curved windows and the stunning original woodwork you know this is The One! Sellers have done wonders opening up this house as much as you can with an early 1900s home. Updates like a main floor laundry, spacious mudroom, 2 full baths, newer central gas forced air heating, updated electrical and plumbing all help to bring this house into 2020. But you don't lose the charm of yesteryear such as the pocket doors, original tile foyer, secret back stairwell, stunning fireplace and so many secret little nooks and crannies for the kids to hide in or while away the day reading or other quiet activities. 3rd floor is finished as well with 4 rooms, 2 large enough for bedrooms and one complete with a kids climbing wall. Back yard is privacy fenced and comes with raised garden spaces and a chicken coop. Located in the Taylor's Field Historic District and Close to the River, Parks, Downtown and in a neighborhood where people still sit out on their front porches and chat, this beauty will make you nostalgic for yesteryear.
