This classic Victorian home was built around 1889 and was extensively renovated in 2017..... starting first with the 4 layers of shingles taken completely off and new architectural shingles being put on and the "in-roof" gutter system dismantled and new gutters professionally installed. Entering through the front door you will step back in time..... the charm has not been removed with the renovations. All the floors have been refinished, walls have been painted all through the house, the kitchen floor had 4 layers of linoleum (all removed) & the original pine floors refinished with new stainless steel appliances put in. On the main level there is a formal living room with an original fireplace. Another 2nd "parlor" is separated from the formal living room by original pocket doors that are in immaculate condition. Through the beveled doors (that were found in the 2nd story of the garage and refinished) is the dining room. Just off the front foyer there is a 1/2 bath tucked under the beautiful staircase. Through the butler's pantry from the dining room you enter the renovated kitchen. A side porch from the kitchen goes to an outside entry. From the kitchen there is access to another rear entry and also to the full basement that still needs some work but in the main area there is a new wash machine and dryer, shower stall, commode & sink. There are 2 more rooms beyond this area. This dry basement would certainly be a place where a new homeowner could put their personal touch on this home. Taking the front or back stairs to the 2nd level there are 2 spacious bedrooms, each with their own small sitting rooms. And there are 2 smaller bedrooms on this level. These bedrooms share the one full bath that has been fully renovated, including a tub surround installed by Bath-Fitters. The old screened sleeping porch, accessed from one of the larger bedrooms, was unsafe and dilapidated so was torn down and rebuilt with walls and new windows. Making it a great place to hide from the kids and relax! There is a small backyard that still needs some TLC but a new privacy fence has been put up, a cement patio poured and new steps built going down to the 2 car garage. Conveniently located to shopping, hospital and schools this stately old house is looking for a family to again call it "home." All appliances remain.
