Description

This spacious, beautifully renovated home is located on Fowler's historic brick road on a nearly half an acre lot! Remodeled down to the studs throughout significant sections, 809 E 5th Street combines the best of two worlds: the charm of a well-aged manor house with original wood and stained glass features, and the convenience of a much younger build with many modern updates. Step into the expansive and welcoming entryway and the wide staircase will immediately draw your eyes with its detailed woodwork....This spacious, beautifully renovated home is located on Fowler's historic brick road on a nearly half an acre lot! Remodeled down to the studs throughout significant sections, 809 E 5th Street combines the best of two worlds: the charm of a well-aged manor house with original wood and stained glass features, and the convenience of a much younger build with many modern updates. Step into the expansive and welcoming entryway and the wide staircase will immediately draw your eyes with its detailed woodwork. The main-level includes 9+ and 10+ foot ceilings, arched doorways, brand-new windows (apart from a few eye-catching original pieces), a large living room with plenty of natural light, a large dining room with a lovely mantlepiece, a dedicated laundry room and a half bathroom for visitors. The large kitchen offers granite countertops, new appliances and a tile backsplash. The convenient main-floor bedroom features a private ensuite and walk-in closet. On the upper floor, you'll find a cozy reading nook, 3 more big bedrooms, stained glasswork and a large full bathroom with double vanities. Savor peaceful warm weather evenings while sitting on your wrap-around covered front porch or on the newly poured concrete back patio! The property also includes a 2-car detached garage with opener, as well as new siding, new gutters, new water heater, new furnace, new A/C, new plumbing system, new electrical system, and a clean unfinished basement for extra storage. A home with such exceptional character is a rare treasure, so claim this gem as your own today before someone else does!
