Description

This home is one of the true gems of the neighborhood—a beautifully preserved Victorian with updates designed to carry it well into the next century. You’ll be charmed by the rich hardwood floors, distinctive doorknobs, and a blend of original and updated light fixtures that add character throughout. Elegant pocket doors offer both beauty and flexibility, allowing you to open or separate living spaces as you wish.

The dining room features a classic built-in buffet, while the kitchen stands out as a showpiece with custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a spacious island perfect for gathering around. A gas stove, Bosch dishwasher and a Sub-Zero refrigerator add to the high-end feel of this kitchen. The back French doors open completely to make it easy to bring the outside in. Image spending summer days on the deck and cozy evening around the open gas firepit.

Recent improvements include a new roof, added attic insulation, a new furnace and A/C in 2024, refreshed paint in softer tones, and charming chalkboard additions in the kitchen. New wiring and plumbing throughout the home. The basement has recently been renovated by adding a walk-in tub, a sensory room that any child would love. An office space is in one corner; a theater space has been created with a projector screen. This room has a wet bar and could be a flex room, a great modern hangout for the family.

The bathroom on the 2nd floor has a jacuzzi tub and original ceramic flooring. Some of the closets are quite deep to give lots of storage.

Step outside into your private back yard and enjoy the swimming pool on hot days, it's constructed with steel panels, has a filter system, a staircase to access. Nice landscaping around the home. There is a nice 12x22 shed/workshop in the corner of the back yard, with alleyway access. With this large corner lot, there is room to add a garage - move the swimming pool back into the yard and you have a large cement footprint. Priced below market value.
