Property Description
As you enter through the beautiful original front door, you will find soaring 12-foot ceilings, beautiful original hardwood flooring, solid walnut doors with original crystal knobs, antique light fixtures and sconces, custom plaster details, and numerous built-in shelves and cabinets that add both beauty and functionality. The spacious layout includes a large dining room, breakfast room, generous pantry, and a character-filled library/sunroom area. Large windows throughout the home allow an abundance of natural light to shine in.
The renovated kitchen features new appliances installed in 2025, while the bathrooms and other areas have been well maintained and offer the opportunity for additional personalization over time. Tasteful wallpaper accents several rooms and complements the home's historic character.
Additional improvements include added interior and exterior electrical outlets, as well as added shelving and a ceiling fan in the storage area.
Outside, the mature landscaping and abundant flowers create a beautiful setting, highlighted by a huge shade tree and a long backyard that offers privacy and space to enjoy. The lot size for this property is over half an acre and very flat. The oversized carport has been converted into a covered sitting area, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. There is also a private patio/porch area for outdoor enjoyment. The lot is very large, and the large shed at the back of the yard is included.
An attached apartment with a separate entrance provides excellent flexibility for guests, extended family, or income potential. The home may also be used as a short-term rental, with the current owner utilizing the apartment while guests occupy the main home. If the newer owner would like to have a large dressing room, the apartment could be converted into that and it could be entered into from the inside.
The main home has three good-sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The apartment has its own bathroom, kitchenette, bed, and office area.
The home is conveniently located near restaurants, businesses, and shopping. The versatility of this property makes it a real gem. The property will qualify for conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA financing, as well as cash buyers. With two of those loan programs offering 100% financing, this home provides additional opportunities for qualified buyers.
