Wow, this may be just what you have been waiting for! This large 1907 square foot 2.5 story home has 5 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with plenty of space to stretch out.
There are three entrances into the home one being on the east side with its neat little canopy over the entrance, this eliminates any dripping of water or mess as you enter the home, the looks of this gives it the appearance of a small Gingerbread House, there is also an entrance from the back yard deck into the dining room.
The cozy front porch is a seasonal porch but what a neat place to utilize during the warmer months. During the winter months it is a great place to drop off those overshoes and heavy coat before entering into the home. As you enter the home through the front door of the porch you will be greeted by the open staircase to the upper level as well as a comfortable foyer to start your journey through this renovated older home.
As you leave the foyer you can enter the kitchen which is directly in front of you or you can also go into the living room. The kitchen has had many upgrades in the past few years. The cabinets have all been replaced and are extra tall which allows you plenty of space to store all of those kitchen goodies. The stove is an extra large stove as most stoves are 30 inches while this one is 36 inches with a griddle included, great for those morning breakfasts. The ceiling has the old fashion tin which certainly blends in with the design of the home, there is a large pantry which may be a dream come true, the little breakfast nook with two bench seats with a counter top that matches the kitchen cabinets, what a great spot for you to have those daily meals.
As you leave the kitchen to go to the formal dining room the door is a two way door as they were many years ago, it will swing out in the direction you are going. The formal dining room has plenty of space for your dining room table. This is the spot where you will do your special occasion entertaining; imagine that large meal with everyone sitting around the table enjoying it. The floors are hardwood in this area as well as in the adjoining living room. There is a half bath off the dining room as well as an exit door to the backyard patio.
The living room may be your family center where you take a break to read the local paper or watch your favorite television show, or better yet just a neat place to sit back and relax. There is an abundance of space in which to situate all of your furniture. There have been a number of new storm windows installed in this room. From the living room you have now made a complete circle back to the entry foyer.
From the living room you will pass through the foyer and start up the open staircase to the second level where there area 3 bedrooms, sewing room and a full bath. The bathroom certainly stays with the theme of an older renovated home with its claw leg tub and circular shower makes you want to watch a John Wayne Western Movie! At the top of the steps is a landing that surrounds all of the rooms on this level, the carpet has been recently installed to give it a warm comfortable feeling. Just off the master bedroom is a door the leads to a patio which is above the front porch, think about how neat this would be to sit out there on a beautiful summer evening while enjoying the surroundings.
From this level there is a third level where there are two bedrooms, if there is no need for all of the bedroom space this area could also be used as a nice computer loft or office space if you wished.
A portion of the basement has been recently painted and framed out to finish off a playroom or possibly a comfortable family room. The electrical is a 100 service with all electrical and utility lines being buried to the property. The hot water boiler is a Burnham Boiler and was installed nine (9) years ago so there should be many years remaining on the life of the heating system. There are two zone valves for the boiler so each level can control its own heat. The present owners have been using an annual balanced billing with the heating costs only being $73 a month. The back yard is totally fenced with a portion having a chain link fence while the fence between the home next door is a wooden fence which certainly allows for plenty of privacy. There are three entrance gates in the fenced area. There is a small wooden deck as well as a patio made of pavers blocks. There is also a single stall garage in the back yard.
