912 1st Avenue North
New Rockford, North Dakota
This older home still has some of the fantastic old woodwork that has disappeared from the home market years ago. You enter the home into a front porch with plenty of windows, It is basically used as an entrance but would make a very nice porch in which to read the morning paper or to sit back and relax while the bustling action of activities take place outside.
As you enter you will have the option to go straight into an office, which at one time may have been the room for the maid. If you take a quick left you will be in the very comfortable living room with plenty of window space, great woodwork as there are two pillars surrounded by well finished woodwork, just below each pillar is a glass encased storage area for your favorite books or special items. As you pass through this area to enter the large formal dining room, there is a beautiful built in hutch, wow, this certainly stands out as an outstanding addition to the room and home. There are drawers and storage areas as well as glass doors where you will store that special china, centered between this is a mirror backing, this has to be seen to appreciate it. What a great room to entertain during those special times of the year.
The large kitchen is just off the dining room where there is an abundance of cabinet space; the eye catcher in this room is the door that swings both ways, a thing from the past!
The main floor bedroom is nice size with plenty of closet space; the bathroom is just down the hall. The two upstairs bedrooms have plenty of room for all of your needs, there is also a very large walk in closet for all to use.
The basement has sheet rocked walls; this is also where the laundry is located. The basement is where the high efficiency forced air furnace is located, the furnace runs on natural gas. There is a 200 amp electrical service for the home. The attached garage is being used as a shoe repair shop by t he present owners, this garage is fantastic. It has hot water heat that runs throughout the floor for heat, it is entirely insulated and finished. There is one overhead door, but when it was built there was a header installed for that second door. There is entrance to the front porch as well as the basement from inside the garage. If you need additional space this garage would make a wonderful family room. There is another 100 feet of lot space beside it where you could still build another garage.
The back yard is private with a number of beautiful trees, there is an additional single stall garage sitting in the back yard. There is a wood deck attached to the back of the home, nice place to have a cup of coffee and enjoy the peace and quiet of North Dakota.
The taxes this past year were $780.06; the lot is irregular and is about 175x140, big!!
$119,900
