Description
One of a kind charmer. This unique farmhouse sits on a 50 X 160 lot which presents lush mature landscaping in the front and the back yards. Home has an appealing front porch offering a seating area and lovely french doors which open into the home. This one story dwelling has 10 foot ceilings and some stained glass windows. Reminiscent of many turn of the last century homes most of the floors are pine and quite beautiful. Owners have created an open welcoming kitchen with a generously sized eat-in area large enough for a full table and chairs. The painted cabinetry compliments the choice of bold decorative tile surround. There is an island with a sink sporting a quartz countertop. And to make all your dreams come true there is a walk in pantry. Three bedrooms each brightly painted with a closet blending traditional space with updating. The blend of the old (claw foot tub) with the new (double sinks) in the primary bath exhibits thoughtfulness in making changes to a home in order to maintain it's original integrity. In the basement there is a heated room currently being used as an exercise room but could easily be an office as it is quite bright with many windows all above grade. The unfinished remaining part of the basement has defined built in storage areas as well as open spaces. Directly out the kitchen door is a large deck that was rebuilt including new railings in 2020. The lovely deck faces west with some shading from the sun so you can admire your mature bushes, perennials and foliage in your back yard oasis. House is in a great walk to the train/walk to downtown location. New roof on house and garage in 2020. See additional info for more upgrades.
