Description

Looking for the ideal home and/or commercial space disguised as a historic home just minutes from downtown? Look no further...this is the place! It's situated on a huge country style lot with massive back yard ideal for events or additional parking. Seller bought the home to be used as a studio space for photographers to rent, so you may recognize some of the interiors from album covers, baby pictures, and more. Seller immediately began renovations too and spared no expense. Lots of the un-fun renovations...Looking for the ideal home and/or commercial space disguised as a historic home just minutes from downtown? Look no further...this is the place! It's situated on a huge country style lot with massive back yard ideal for events or additional parking. Seller bought the home to be used as a studio space for photographers to rent, so you may recognize some of the interiors from album covers, baby pictures, and more. Seller immediately began renovations too and spared no expense. Lots of the un-fun renovations are already completed! New plumbing, electric and high-efficiency HVAC, for instance. New roof and structure underpinnings, where needed! Very clean and accessible crawl space was cleared for quick access for any infrastructural additions/changes as needed (believe me, your contractor will love it!). You'll love the new farmhouse paint scheme throughout. All the additions and renovations were tastefully done. The center hall's focal point is a grand staircase that's flanked by two large offices/living rooms/parlors with one qualifying as a bedroom. There is another main floor bedroom in the back of the home as well as a laundry room/bathroom combo. And get this; right across from that room is a beautifully renovated bath, complete with pedestal sink and subway tile! This home just keeps on giving. Formal Dining room leads to a large flex room before leading to bright kitchen beyond. If you're looking to create a large chef's kitchen, this could easily be achieved by removing a wall. Large screened-in side porch tucked into the northeast corner of the home will make a great project for conversion to an inviting, fun and artsy morning coffee location or that evening glass of wine. Upstairs you'll find two more bedrooms, each with brand new bathrooms! The tall bead board ceilings were rescued from their drop ceiling tile prison and have been lovingly restored to their former glory! Original fireplaces are decorative and all over the place as are interior brick chimney chases, making for a soul-warming feel at every turn. This home needs a new love affair as the current lover must sadly move on, but oh the changes that were made! A must see piece of history in this great town. Here's your chance!
