Charming Centennial oozing with Character! MOTIVATED SELLERS, OPEN HOUSE 10/8, 3pm - 5pm, BUYER'S AGENTS WELCOME!!! This two-story, move-in-ready family home has all of the charm of an older house with all the updates that make it "home" to the modern buyer (Nest thermostat and wireless doorbell for starters!). There are 4 generous bedrooms (all with walk-in closets) and 2 1/2 baths (including a brand new (2016) ensuite master bath with original claw-foot soaking tub, a second totally updated full bathroom upstairs and a powder room on the main level). Besides the spacious master suite you'll find two large bedrooms upstairs that share the recently remodeled bathroom making it a great space for a growing family. We've enjoyed making many updates over the years including new Pella Architect Series windows, new 30-year laminate shingle roof in 2012, two 50-gallon water heaters in 2016, an extensive exterior update including foam board insulation, beautiful zero-matinence siding, all new exterior doors, front stoop and a spacious wood deck great for entertaining in 2015. Also in 2015 we enclosed the front porch with insulated floors, all new windows and new laminate flooring making it a bright, serene place to watch the world go by from the classic porch swing, or use as a home office like we do! Outside you'll find a 2-car attached garage, small garden storage shed and lovely perrenials surrounding the house including hostas, vibrant lilies, hydrangeas and a living vine privacy fence new in 2017. In the spacious mud room just off the garage you'll find 5 built-in lockers, newer Electrolux W/D, a laundry sink and a large closet for coats or vacuums. Walk though to the eat-in kitchen and you'll be drawn to the beamed ceiling, original wood floors, unique light fixtures, butcher block island, and bright white cabinets/pantry. Just past the kitchen lies the fireplace hearth room/library/dining room (you choose!) with a window seat, more wood ceiling beams, built-in cabinets and shelving and a picture-perfect wood burning fireplace. A large family living space rounds out the main floor, along with a bedroom (we use it as a school/arts/crafts space) with walk-in closet and attached half bath. The basement contains a large open space to do whatever suits your family, a second kitchen with fridge, deep freeze and vintage farm sink, along with a large storage area with plenty of shelving. And did I mentiton location?! Just blocks from downtown you'll never hunt for Tulip Time parking again! Lincoln Elementary is just one block East and the quiet neighborhood is well established with mature trees and great neighbors! Come take a look and you'll fall in love with this move-in-ready classic charmer with room for the whole crew. BUYER'S AGENTS WELCOME!
