About This Home
As of June 2018*** OPEN THURSDAY 4:00-6:00! *** Simply Amazing! This 4-5 bedroom, 4 bath rare gem located in Heritage Hill offers stunning original finishes that will leave you speechless. As you approach the amazing front porch, admire how grand and NEW it is! Restored to historic dimensions and style, it is a perfect place for summer entertaining. As you enter the grand foyer, soak in the turn of the century craftsmanship details including a coffered tiger oak ceiling, original light fixtures, and beveled leaded glass everywhere! This home is designed for comfortable modern living with a very efficient chefs kitchen, 3 bedrooms plus an office/nursery on the 2nd floor as well as 2 full bathrooms. The 4th bedroom and 1/2 bath on the very large 3rd floor offers use flexibility. The current seller has gone above and beyond in finding replacement parts or creating her own. She has typed up a detailed account of her findings and the work she has done. The document is a must read and is attached to the listing. Future buyers will appreciate the brand NEW sewer plumbing that was installed in 2017! Sadly, the amazing patio and back yard had to be torn up for the work to be done. The new front porch is a $22,000 improvement. The exterior of the home has been professional painted in recent years and is in great condition. To fully appreciate the details in this historic home, please call the listing agent for a private showing. A detailed video is also available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgGpLGapg5I
Square foot measurements are approximate and approximately 262 sq ft less than city records.
