A great combination of original character and modern updates. Step into a house filled with craftsman style. Elements not found in new homes abound: lovely unpainted oak woodwork, beautiful staircase, unique built-in hutch, pocket doors, leaded glass in front window. With each renovation we have remained true to the historic style of the house while bringing much loved modern amenities. In 1994 a 2-stall garage with workbench and attic storage was added. 2010 brought a new roof and gutters with gutter guards, high efficiency furnace, and new water heater. We also replaced most of the windows, and had insulation blown into the attic that year. In 2011 we renovated the kitchen, adding new appliances, an island, and sanding the existing wood floor, pantry, and hutch. You'll love the Bosch dishwasher, Swanstone sink, Moen faucet and built in water filter. At that time we hired an electrician to update electrical service and add much needed kitchen outlets. In 2013 we repaired and painted the exterior siding, replaced the backdoor, and added a front storm door for energy efficiency. In 2014 we renovated the ground-level bathroom with a balance of historic style and modern luxury: original built-in medicine cabinet, custom tile, radiant floor heat, and modern fixtures. We are currently replacing/upgrading the porches on the front and side of house adding to the beauty and charm.
