About this home
Single Family · Built 1911 · Historic
If you like older homes with STYLE & CHARM this is the home for you. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Has built-ins, original woodwork that has NEVER been painted. Enclosed FRONT PORCH perfect to just relax with a good book or good company. Walk right into the living room that has HARDWOOD FLOORS, BUILT-IN book shelves & CROWN MOLDING. There is a office that could be a 3rd bedroom on the 1st floor that also has HARDWOOD FLOORS & CROWN MOLDING. If you need that 4th bedroom FAMILY ROOM on 1st floor has FULL BATH that is right there for your convenience. FULL BATH has been REMODELED with a jacuzzi tub and taller vanity with MARBLE FLOORS. Kitchen with more BUILT-INS, DOUBLE OVEN & DISHWASHER. VERY CHARMING. Upstairs has 2 BEDROOMS. MASTER has a BUILT-IN dresser and also HUGE DEEP drawers that you would never find in a newer home. 2nd Bedroom has a BIG walk-in closet. 2nd floor also has a WALK-IN floored attic. BASEMENT has poured CONCRETE with currently no seepage. There is a working shower & connections to add a stool. DETACHED GARAGE is a 3 car but with a 2 car door. If you like to work in the garage you will be pleasantly surprised with the SERVICE PIT. BRICK PAVER patio for those nice warm nights to enjoy. THIS IS A GREAT HOME BECAUSE OF THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT ROOMS. Living downtown Oswego is GREAT with all the new businesses to explore!! COME TAKE A LOOK.
