About This Home
As of April 2021Relax on a large front porch and enjoy the sycamore lined street in this beautiful home in the highly-desired residential neighborhood of State Street. Located centrally to shopping, restaurants, Buchanan Park, and more, this home has original features with modern upgrades that honor its age and historical significance on the State Street block—the first home built on State back in 1928. Nestled back from the street and a front driveway, you’ll see a beautiful porch with original columns. The mature professionally installed landscaping is a sight to behold in the spring and summer, with many colors from flowering plants and bushes to brighten the outside of the house. As you walk in the front door with original side lights, you step into a neutral and professionally painted living room featuring a stunning original fireplace & mantel with brick surround and fluted woodwork. Professionally installed dark bamboo laminate contrasts beautifully with the soft white walls, highlighting the six-inch baseboards and crown molding. The living room opens into a spacious dining room with bay window that provides gorgeous natural light throughout the day. The 9” high ceilings and original wood trim make the living spaces feel open & inviting. The kitchen has been upgraded with many new features, including Quartz countertops, white subway tile backsplash, stainless dishwasher, sink & refrigerator but also features a vintage white double oven/stove that harkens to an era gone by. Features of the original kitchen still include a pie cooling rack and pull-out cutting board sure to please any cook. A large enclosed pantry, tall cabinets with curio displays and shelving, and plenty of counter space & storage complete this farmhouse-style kitchen. A mudroom with French door and back yard access and recently upgraded powder room complete the first floor. Take the Original oak staircase with freshly painted railing past a beautiful stained-glass window to the 2nd floor living space where you will find 3 large bedrooms and a 4th bedroom/office. Vintage glass knobs make every room in the entire home feel special-even the closets-and keep with the original charm and character of the home. Bedrooms are spacious and bright with beautiful replacement windows and views. The master bedroom has double closets and hardwood floors, ceiling fan and lots of natural light. The freshly painted master bath is charming with a cast iron bathtub, white subway tile, vintage medicine cabinet with mirror, crown molding and black-and-white tiled floor in keeping with the farmhouse decor. The 4th bedroom/office features a large custom built-in for storage and display and has a 2nd floor balcony to enjoy. The 3rd floor is finished living space and has a full bathroom plumbed & ready to go for your renovation imagination. The sitting room has original hardwood floors, radiant heat and plenty of storage and natural light and the 5th bedroom/bonus room is carpeted with radiant heat, closet space and natural light. This State Street home was recently converted in 2020 to natural gas hot water heater and radiant heat source to increase the home’s energy efficiency. Two-unit, Zoned central air and heat pumps add to the home’s comfortability during summer & winter, providing excellent cooling and alternative heat options on all floors with retro-fit duct installation often not found in older homes. In February 2019, 75% of the home’s windows were replaced with $50,000 in Renewal by Andersen custom built, easy-to-clean tilt-in, composite windows that come with a transferable 20-year warranty. THIS HOME IS A MUST SEE!!!!
