History, charm, beauty, detail, and love can all be used to describe this home on North Elm Street. Some of its breathtaking highlights are the original features from the year it was built in 1914. These include the intricate woodwork, timeless crystal door knobs and many of the light fixtures which are the focal points of their room. These details along with updates through the years (including new electric on the main floor and basement, new heat pipes and new condensing boiler) provide the perfect combination of old and new. The abundance of windows let the natural light pour in throughout the home. This is especially felt on the sunporch with 3 sides of windows that encompass this living area. Each room of the home beholds its own personality. Whether you are working in the office area surrounded by book shelves, dining in the breakfast nook with a view of the backyard, relaxing by the fireplace or reading in the sun porch. Anywhere you go you feel that you are truly home. The outside of the home is just as beautiful as the inside with the well maintained yard and landscaping. The summer colors pop when flowers are in bloom making this outdoor space with the patio a perfect for outdoor gathering spot. This grand home has been loved and cared for by all of its owners and is ready to be loved by new owners.
