Historic Olney home being offered on a large 3/4-acre lot at the south edge of town. This home has recently gone through over a year and a half of extensive updates and repairs. Boasting roughly 1500 square feet of completely rehabbed living space and ample storage space located upstairs in the large 1200 square foot 2nd floor attic. Historic architectural features include a 9-gable roof line, a turret porch and 10-foot ceilings throughout. The front porch enters into a 6x6 foyer, from there a massive family room (15x18) with a 5ft corner pop-out area for sitting. French doors lead into the large front bedroom (12x15) which is connected to a second bedroom (12x12) via a cute Jack and Jill half bath. A large 5ft-wide opening with transom windows flows into another huge dining room (15X18). The kitchen (16x16) includes a walk-in pantry, original Kitchen-Maid cabinets, original built-in ironing board, fire place insert and a matching set of all black Kenmore appliances (purchased new in 2017) are included.

New carpet in all 3 bedrooms. New vinyl flooring in Laundry room, Pantry, Half-Bath and Utility closet. New Paint throughout entire house.

Kitchen retains what I believe are the original Kitchen Maid cabinets. Kitchen Maid (Not Kitchen-Aid) was a high-end cabinet maker based in Andrews, Indiana in the early to mid-1900’s. The cabinets were diss-assembled, stripped, refinished and re-assembled using new hardware. New butcher block-style counter tops, a new stainless-steel sink, faucet and a new 1/2 HP Waste King garbage disposal were also installed. The main bathroom received new sub-floor and ceramic tile flooring. A new neo corner shower was installed with a ceramic tile surround and frosted glass enclosure. New toilets were included in both bathrooms. New exterior vinyl shutters were installed, and the porch columns were repaired and painted. New steel entry doors installed in both the rear of the house and the detached garage. The detached garage also has brand new 12ft wide garage door. The home was last re-shingled in 2015.
