About This Home

As of June 2022

Looking for that rare house loaded with charm, renovated to perfection and in a great location? This most adorable, turnkey house is a stroll's distance from Libbie/Grove, schools, parks and restaurants. With careful attention to maintaining its 1920s character, this farm house was completely taken down to the studs, with all-new plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems. A delightful front porch welcomes you to a stylish, light-filled interior where walls were removed to allow for seamless contemporary flow. On the first floor, a gorgeous new kitchen/dining area boasts quartz counters, custom subway tile, SS appliances and French door to a covered rear porch. A wide hall with a fresh powder room and laundry room (washer/dryer and Rinnai) connects the kitchen to the spacious living/family room combo. The second floor features refinished hardwoods, 3 bedrooms and a beautiful full bath w/quartz vanity and subway-tiled shower/tub. With thermal windows and fresh paint, gorgeous landscaping, curved stone terrace and that hard-to-find 2-car garage, this is a captivating place to call home!
