The inviting covered wrap around front porch welcomes you as you approach this charming late 19th century home and you will be delighted by the high ceilings, the outstanding condition of the wonderful original woodwork, hardwood floors and pocket doors separating the living areas on the main level. There are 2 walkouts to the front porch. The bright, open kitchen offers Maple cabinets, white appliances and a retro double windowed swinging door. All of the appliances are included. The large main laundry room has a walk-out to a 12' x 24' Trex deck. One bedroom is on the main level and could serve as a dining room if one desired as well as a full bathroom with a vintage claw foot tub. Upstairs you will find 2 large bedrooms and a study or multi-purpose area that has no closet. The master bedroom has an adjoining sunroom that is bright and cozy! Additionally, you will find another huge 4-piece bathroom with a claw foot tub and stand-up shower. New paint and carpet throughout make the home shine. There is a large, fenced back yard to enjoy those summer days equipped with auto sprinklers and drip system. Don't miss the wall of fragrant Lilac bushes in the rear yard. The 864 s.f oversize, detached 2-car garage with a spacious shop space was a great addition in 2008 and offers tons of workbenches, is fully insulated and has private alley access. All updated vinyl windows throughout the entire home with pleated blinds throughout the main level. This home had a new roof in 2014 to include all sheathing and shingles. The front wrap around porch was completely replaced in 2016. Water pipes were updated to copper at some point. This home is in great condition and has tons of character and charm! The R-2 zoning could offer possibilities of extra income by ways of an accessory dwelling unit.
