MOVE-IN READY! This charming, spacious, over 2000 square foot, 4 bedroom home has beautiful newly refinished hardwood floors and natural woodwork throughout. There are decorative wood columns between the parlor/living room and dining room with a built-in feature. At some time in the past, the kitchen was updated to a mid-century modern style kitchen with decorative ceramic tiles. This well-constructed home, built in 1894, has stood the test of time and has been loved by family after family through the years. There are of course plaster walls that keep the home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter; and gas hot water heat that provides quiet, even heat from a boiler that has been serviced yearly. Like many historic houses, this home has 2 stair cases to the second floor with a front open staircase and additional stairs entered from the back. All of the bedrooms have closets. One bedroom, formerly a sleeping porch, has windows on 3 sides and a extra area that could be an office/study space or additional expanded closet. The house is surrounded by an almost double lot,130 x 128.75, that is nearly a half acre with room from play sets, both flower and vegetable gardens, volley ball and play area, or outside summer entertaining. The spacious yard can also be enjoyed from the screened back porch with new flooring and fresh paint. The detached 2 car garage has room for storage and has electrical service. Come see in person.
