Property Description

Character and craftsmanship meet thoughtful updates in this 1907 home, full of the architectural charm you'd expect from its era. The exterior has been refreshed with new siding, giving the home crisp, clean curb appeal, while updated and new windows bring in abundant natural light throughout. A screened porch offers a welcoming spot to relax, and the classic gabled roofline with multiple dormers adds distinctive character both inside and out. Inside, fresh paint and new carpet give the home a clean, updated feel while preserving original touches like built-in corner cabinets with glass-front doors and a charming window seat nook - details that speak to the home's early-1900s craftsmanship. The eat-in kitchen features white cabinetry with brass hardware, laminate countertops, a classic farmhouse-style apron sink, a gas range, and refrigerator, all set against durable vinyl plank flooring. Just off the kitchen, a bright mudroom/entry area offers built-in coat hooks and drawer storage - a practical touch for everyday living. Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings and a ceiling fan, plus a full bathroom with a tiled tub/shower surround. A staircase leads down to a full basement, offering additional storage or utility space, and a detached garage rounds out the property. This home blends early-20th-century character with meaningful updates - a solid opportunity for buyers drawn to homes with history and personality. Conveniently located to shopping, schools, doctors, and recreation.
