This lovely mid-century home, located in the popular Fairway Oaks neighborhood, has been updated with modern efficiency while still maintaining that 50’s charm. Right pass the entrance foyer is a spacious living room with wood-burning, brick fireplace. This leads into the separate dining room with a wall of windows letting in plenty of natural light. Just off the dining room is the kitchen with roomy pantry and five-burner gas stove. The back door is right there as well, making it easy to go from grilling out on the patio straight into either the kitchen or dining room. On the other side of the house are the three roomy bedrooms, and full bath. The middle bedroom has built-in bookcases and could readily be used as an office. Out back you’ll find the laundry room in the large building (with oyster shell walls!) that has been converted into a ‘man cave’. Plenty of room for just about anything- workshop, storage, pool table, or with a little effort you can turn it back into a garage.
There have been only two owners since being built in 1957, and both have meticulously maintained a high level of quality care. The hardwood floors throughout are original and in great shape. The calming neutral tiles in the kitchen and bath have been kept up and blend seamlessly with popular decorating palettes of today- no garish pink or green here! The wood cabinetry in the kitchen is original and so are the solid wood doors with brass knobs; better quality than cheap pressboard. Not everything is original, there have been updates that save money and are environmentally responsible. New, double-pane windows throughout keep your heating and cooling bills reasonable. The tankless water heater, located outside, delivers hot water quickly and reliably without having to worry about potential leaks. Plus the inside has been freshly painted and the outside power washed. This delightful house is ready for the next owners to move in and make it a home.
