Note-House is not in historic district. Lovingly restored with incredible curb appeal, this timeless Craftsman home beautifully blends original character with thoughtful modern updates. Original hardwood floors, doors, trim, built-ins, pocket doors, and custom wood cabinetry showcase the craftsmanship rarely found today, while a center island, pantry closet with pull-out shelves, recessed lighting, and abundant natural light bring everyday functionality to the home. The inviting layout flows seamlessly from the living room to the dining room and kitchen, with a charming four-season porch providing additional living space and three bedrooms upstairs. There are ceiling fans throughout most of the home, and a brand-new three-tier composite deck overlooking an exceptionally private backyard retreat complete with an above-ground pool, two mature raised garden beds, and two storage sheds, one with electricity. Major improvements include Marvin and Andersen all-wood replacement windows, 200-amp electrical service, natural gas heat, a 40-gallon indirect hot water heater (both replaced within the last 10 years), three-zone Nest thermostats, and a sewer line to the street replaced within the last 10 years.
