There's just something captivating about move-in-ready classic American colonial. Built in 1906, this beautiful 2,080 sq. ft., 4 bedroom, 2-bath colonial with downstairs study exemplifies a quintessential period architecture that has been lovingly updated over the years to enhance the beauty and warmth of the home while retaining its timeless character. The original hardwood floors, carved molding, claw foot tub, original front door, kitchen stairway to the upstairs, original light fixtures, stained glass in the living room and over the stairs are well preserved and breathtaking. The amount of natural light streaming into the rooms of this home is an unexpected surprise. It offers an uplifting, cheerful vibe the moment you walk through the front door. You can't help but be struck by the view of light at the end of the hall pouring into the kitchen. It's simply gorgeous. To the left of the front door is an elegant living room with original pocket doors closing off the space to the hall and to the connecting dining room. The Art Nouveau moldings around the doorways of this room are stunning and provide an element of interest to the adjoining dining room. You can just imagine your next dinner party or celebration in such an elegant room. The graceful flow from one room to the next is also evident as you transition down the hall to the study. This cheery room offers lots of flexibility and could easily be converted to a future downstairs bedroom with its close proximity to the lower-level full bath. The eat-in kitchen counter, ample storage and counter space, ceramic tile floors and well-placed window over the sink make for a charming, efficient space. Off the kitchen is a cozy sun porch that leads to the driveway. This is one of those special nooks in the home that beckon you to grab a cup of coffee and curl up with a favorite book. At the opposite end of the kitchen is the recently created backyard access for easy outdoor entertaining, and the nearby back staircase leading to the sleeping quarters on the 2nd floor. At the top of the entrance stairs to the 2nd level is an inviting landing space ideal for a small sitting area, workspace or playroom. Moving toward the bedrooms, you see a spacious master bedroom and three delightful bedrooms with a full bath at the end of the hall. Over the years, 339 E. German Street has received numerous updates. If you've been daydreaming about owning a piece of local history, you don't want to miss this property.
