A beautiful all brick bungalow in highly sought-after Elizabeth with a completely renovated kitchen, many updates, and lots of character from the historic details throughout the home. It has large rooms, especially the dining room, with its newly installed windows, which was the central gathering place of the family at the time the home was built. In the kitchen no details were spared with custom cabinets, granite counter tops, a Verona (Italian) gas convection dual oven for the home chef, and new LG refridgerator and dishwasher. All new energy efficient windows were installed as well. To support the new kitchen, other upgrades, and for any future additions the old fuse box was replaced with a new box and brought to current building code. The three bedrooms are bright with lots of windows and kept cool with excellent air conditioning and ceiling fans. In the winter warm the house with new gas furnace. Control the temperature from anywhere or allow the house to maintain temperature for you with the new Nest thermostat. The house has beautiful original hardwoods throughout, an amazing side porch, and secluded backyard. The exterior was completely painted and any rotten wood replaced in the summer of 2015. The roof was replaced in 2011. If you love history and being close to everything this is the perfect home. Small details in the living room windows, old telephone nook, and archways remind you of the time the home was built. The new trolley at 5th and Hawthorne also reminds you of the history of the entire neighborhood and the large trees covering the streets in shade are a reminder of the time Elizabeth was first built. Wave to your neighbors from porch as they walk past.
