Beautiful bungalow on a sunny corner lot in treasured Mt Tabor location, bordered by heritage Ash trees planted in 1920. The fantastic floorplan sets this vintage home apart from the rest – a large living room, dining room and kitchen, a bedroom and full bath on the main, 3 large bedrooms and full bathroom upstairs, and finally a full unfinished basement with great ceiling height. This well-designed home stands the test of time, every square foot is functional for today’s living. Recent investments include: almost all new electrical, zonal heating/cooling for upstairs & down (the heat pump for the upstairs was replaced in 2017), water heater replaced in 2021, and an asbestos abatement in 2017. How could you use this spacious, oversized 2 car garage/shop? This is one-of-a-kind - shop, studio, home office, play area... Southeast exposure provides soft morning light and bright afternoons. The full front porch – complete with porch swing – perched above the street, you can sit back with morning coffee or a night cap. Character just fills this home; original fireplace, tiles, knobs, doors, built-ins, millwork. An eclectic home that has been cared for, with quality improvements made – a remarkable home in an outstanding location refreshed to be appreciated as-is, or enjoy the unlimited potential for new design.
