Classic Revival home built in 1905. This stately Four Square captures the charm and character unique to it's time period. Walking up the sidewalk toward the house is like going back in time: a nice calm time. The expansive front porch is perfect for sipping lemonade and watching the world go by and chatting with your neighbors. Enter through the leaded glass door and you will find a generous foyer with hardwood flooring, beams on the 10 foot ceilings, craftsman style woodworking on the staircase and an original light fixture. Off the foyer is the living room with original wood floors, beamed ceiling, original light fixtures and built in book cases on each side of the fireplace which houses a brand new gas log insert. On the other side of the foyer through the large pocket door is the dining room. It also has an original light fixture and is generously sized for a large table, buffet and china cabinet. Stepping into the kitchen you pass through the pantry room with plenty of storage all enclosed in original wood cabinets. The kitchen has good counter space, abundant cabinets, a window above the sink, gas range, dishwasher, disposal, microwave and refrigerator all which remain with the house. A bright and light breakfast nook is tucked away just off the kitchen. Two staircases lead upstairs to a large landing with built in bookcases and the sleeping quarters. The second floor boasts 4 bedrooms, one full bathroom and one half bathroom connected to the 4th bedroom making it a perfect guest suite. All bedrooms have hardwood flooring with original woodwork, closet doors and doorknobs. Don't miss the screened in porch directly off the 1st bedroom. Up one more staircase you will find a finished attic that can be used as a family room or 5th bedroom with 2 generous sized closets. With its own heating and cooling units and 2 ceiling fans, it's a comfortable space. In the backyard there is a stone patio, mature trees, landscaping and a rebuilt garage that houses one car with leftover space. The driveway is shared with the neighbors to the South, but they rarely use it as they have access to their own garage through an alleyway. This home has gutter covers, a sprinkler system, ADT security, Terminex warranty that transfers to new owner, zoned heat and air, glass storm windows as well as screen storm windows and the washer and dryer will remain with the home. In the basement a waterproofing system has kept the lower level dry. In addition a 1 year home warranty has been purchased for the new buyers. The owners have loved this home and maintained it for 40+ years. It's priced well below country appraisal value so you can make your own cosmetic changes and still come out ahead.
