Description

PRICE IMPROVEMENT! ~ Step into the charm of this beautiful 4 bedroom vintage Victorian Sears home in Central Bradley, where timeless character meets modern updates & convenience! With over 2,100 sq. ft., this spacious home showcases original woodwork, stained-glass windows, and hardwood floors on the first floor. The enclosed front entry welcomes you into a foyer featuring an open staircase, convenient half bath, and charming barn doors added to separate the hallway from the front living room, currently used as a dining room. Bi-fold French doors lead to a bright sunroom full of natural light -- great for relaxing! The updated kitchen features newer sleek white cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island with breakfast bar, and all appliances. Pocket doors connect the kitchen to the original dining room, complete with a decorative fireplace (not currently functional). A spacious laundry room with utility sink and walk-in pantry add to the first-floor convenience. Upstairs offers four bedrooms, wood flooring, original woodwork, some replacement windows, and a full bath. The full unfinished basement provides excellent storage and includes a half bath; the toilet is not currently functional. Outside, enjoy a gardener's delight with three raised garden beds, additional garden space featuring perennial vegetables and flowers, attractive mulch paths, and newly planted bushes and dwarf trees. The detached two-car garage includes a Level 1 EV charger outlet. Numerous updates include a new roof and insulated siding, gutters & downspouts in 2026, new furnace 2020, new central air 2025 + auxiliary window AC, updated electrical 2026, and a whole-house surge protector. Many broken windows yet to be replaced by seller. A wonderful opportunity to own a distinctive historic home!
