One of a kind heirloom property, boasts of over 3700 sq ft of living space. Classic character with modern additions and upgrades. This property sits on 4.59 acres on one of the highest points in Linn County. Beautiful views from all angles and remarkable sunsets. In 2000 an addition was added 600 sq ft. main level and 450 sq ft upstairs plus a full basement under that addition. A newer roof (2017) and maintenance free siding on the garage and newer addition of the house (fresh paint on the older part of the house). There is a beautiful, charming wrap around porch in the front and a Stone city stone patio with maintenance free stairs and deck leading to the back door and the 3 season's room.The home boasts of 4 bedrooms and 4 baths (one remodeled and 3 new). The main level has a living room, parlor or music room, dining room, large kitchen, foyer, family room with gas fireplace, half bath, first floor laundry and a bright beautiful 3 seasons room with breathtaking views. The kitchen was gutted and remodeled with an island, bar sink, beautiful Cherry custom cabinets by Nelson who also did custom work on the stairway and the new addition to insure it all blends with the original part of the house. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms, a full bath, and a master suite; 15' x 17' master bedroom with 2 double closets, a sitting room and full bath. There is a walk-up attic just ready to finish. The lower level has a bright and airy newer rec room with gas fireplace, dark room, and bath. The plumbing and electrical have been replaced. There is a new geothermal system and a Kohler generator installed by Rabe, both 2 years old. Outside you will find 4.59 acres of which 1 1/2 acre is in native prairie that will bloom beautifully in the spring/summer, along with native trees including several fruit trees. The garage is a large carriage house designed 2 story, 30x42 (there are 2 large/tall overhead door for larger vehicles), a walk-up loft with windows that could be possibility used for a living area. Nice newer concrete driveway with extra parking, and a unique potting shed. This property has been loved and every part has been meticulously cared for. The owners preserved all the charm of the original home plus duplicated it throughout the new addition. Must see this special property!
