About this home

Single Family · Built 1900 · Historic

Awesome opportunity to own a beautiful, totally rehabbed (2010) hundred year old home! This gorgeous home has an open floor plan, with the kitchen you are looking for. Granite counter tops, cherry cabinets and hardwood flooring makes it an avid cook's dream kitchen. There is recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and updated powder room and baths. There is even a 2nd floor laundry for convenience. A high energy efficient heat pump/air conditioning system with new ductwork, new electric water heater and all new plumbing was put in as well. Low E Anderson windows are just an added bonus to the update. Don't miss the 2nd building that is huge and would work for an in-law suite, home office, work shop or just entertaining a crowd. Situated on .8 acres, this is an excellent opportunity to live in Hocessin with all the modern conveniences mixed with old world charm.
