This cozy, historic home, built in 1900, has charming details and modern updates throughout. Upon entering, you're immediately welcomed by distinctive details including a geometric hardwood floor, arched doorways, an intricate fireplace insert, and abundant natural light pouring in through oversized windows. All windows have been re-glazed within the past five years, and original wooden sills have been replaced with durable metal for ease of maintenance. The adjacent room can be used in a multitude of ways and lends itself to a dining area, but many in town will reminisce about piano lessons that occurred in that space, in fact the brass musical note doorknocker on the front door harkens back to the home's past. Next up is the fully remodeled kitchen with eat-in area featuring a smooth ceiling, canned lighting, Melmac countertops, soft close drawers and cabinets, new gas range, refrigerator and GFCI outlets added. The updates weren't just cosmetic as evidenced by the new electric panel in the kitchen and just feet away in the laundry area is a whole house water softener/filter and stackable washer/dryer all done within the last 5 years. Upstairs two bedrooms and a modern full bath with additional storage in an upstairs hall closet. Outside, a newly graveled driveway leads to an attached covered carport, with pavers continuing to a large shed featuring fresh exterior paint. Extensive landscaping cleanup, including tree removal, has created a spacious backyard, an exceptionally rare find for downtown living. Added exterior gutters and new interior light fixtures and fans round out what has been a well thought out restoration of this timeless property. Picture life in this perfectly sized home, where your days can be spent relaxing on the front porch instead of endless upkeep!
