About this House
DON’T MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS QUEEN ANNE VICTORIAN BEAUTY! This gorgeous home features an inviting wrap around porch which invites you to sit and relax on a porch swing while enjoying the sights and sounds swirling around you. She has a welcoming foyer with a beautiful open staircase the likes of which will not be found in any other home. Original hardwood floors, lighting, and five sets of fully functioning pocket doors are just some of the beautiful features which give this home character like nothing else! The roof was replaced in 2017 and comes with a one-time transfer of a life-time warranty. The repainting of the intricate exterior trim work to restore her Victorian charm was completed in 2018. The kitchen has beautiful custom built cabinetry with a large pantry. The master bedroom provides access to the balcony for unwinding and enjoying your favorite beverage. The workshop contained in half of the 24’x48’ detached garage is any craft-minded or gear head person’s dream!
INCOME POTENTIAL! The basement is 4' above ground, has its own separate entrance, and has the makings of an income unit with an established kitchen and full bath, and the potential for three to four bedrooms.
