All of the details are here in this early 1900s home, along with surprising features that compliment today’s living needs. The home invites you in with a fully enclosed porch that spans the width of the house. Upon entering, you will notice the original front door with hardware; high ceiling heights on all floors, original woodwork, doors, windows, and hardware throughout. Some original light fixtures are also still in place. The formal entry space leads into the living room, dining room, and kitchen on the main level. Kitchen is a generous size, brightly lit, and ready for customization. Back enclosed porch is located off of the kitchen area. Layout has an ideal flow and abundant windows for lighting all throughout the day. Interior staircase leads to the upper level and basement. Upstairs is comprised of the home’s three bedrooms; each containing large, modern accommodation closets. The full bathroom conveniently located upstairs with the bedrooms. Downstairs you will find a partially finished additional space before descending into the basement area; featuring ceiling heights well above 9ft. Incredible amount of space and ceiling clearance to be creative with. Heading into the back yard, there is the surprise of having a water view of Ivey Pond; man-made and running a long length of Winslow. Ideal outdoor space for creating seating areas, gardens, and flower beds. Location in town provides the nostalgic, welcoming feel. Abundant and convenient parking with driveway on the side of the home, as well as the option for off street spaces in front. This home has been preserved through the years without being stripped of the charm and character that makes homes of this age unique and special; deserving of many more years of love and care. Room sizes approximate; buyer to verify room measurements. Church next door now functions as a full time residence. LP tank is leased.
