Property Description

Wow! They just don't build 'em like the used to...that's for sure! Built in 1915, this beautiful Turn of the Century Bungalow has great curb appeal, with the gentle curved roof line and a big, welcoming, covered front porch. In the prefect setting on a quiet street, in a small town, sitting under a canopy of mature trees. A craftsman style staircase and front room with the original fireplace mantile and tile. All original doors, flooring and trim. The tall ceilings and solid oak pocket doors glide open to the dining room, with the original swing door to the kitchen. Two generously sized bedrooms, one with built in shelving and both have big closets. Updated bath but still has the orignal deep, soaker claw foot tub! Original owner's great grand neice confirms that the third, smaller room upstairs was built as the "sewing room" Direct access from the kitchen to the recently stained, multi level deck, and brick patio, perfect for cook outs. Over 1/3 acre feels even larger as it backs up to opens space. The back alley provides plenty garden space and room to roam! The family shared that they even hosted a wedding there! Solid, dry basement...and don't miss the cool, brick canning room! Oversized 2.5 car garage with room for a work shop and loads of space for parking. Measuring out to 1426sqft, with 2 bedrooms/1 bath, although there is a 7x8 space off the primary bedroom that could be converted to a master bath. If you needed a 3rd bedroom, you could use the dining room and just have an eat in kitchen. the first family raised their 4 boys there and actually had a bedroom in the bsmt. (no egress) And the "sewing room" would be a great place to convert to a laundry room. Or just move in and enjoy small town living! This is not just a house, it's a home, where you're comfortable and just never in a hurry to leave. Peaceful, Private, Affordable and Adorable...Be sure to call your favorite Realtor to see this one today!
