About this home
Single Family · Built 1910 · Historic
You will feel right at home in this two-story home with 3-4 bedrooms & 1-1/2 baths. Step inside to a spacious foyer with plenty of room for coats, shoes, plants, and more. The adjacent living room features a bright picture window, beautiful hardwood floors, and pocket doors that open to a flexible den—perfect for a home office, reading nook, or media room. Separate formal dining room with a built-in cabinet as well as a decorative fireplace (for aesthetics only). Large kitchen with solid surface counters, appliances, & newer flooring. Main floor 1/2 bath with convenient laundry. Enclosed sun porch just off the kitchen with windows & provides extra storage. Upstairs, a charming staircase leads to 3 comfortable bedrooms, a full bath, a bonus or exercise room, and a private dressing area currently used by the owner. The walk-up attic offers excellent storage, with potential to be finished for added living space. Enter your backyard oasis from the enclosed sun porch starting with the conversation area that mimics an outdoor lanai complete with fence & lights. From there you can access the detached 2-car garage (with alley access) as well as the backyard with firepit area. Add this one to your viewing list.
