Cozy Victorian Style Sears home with wrap around front porch, new deck on side entrance. The property includes three lots on the corner. New entry doors and windows throughout. New bathroom with spacious shower and heated tile floors. Kitchen was updated prior to 2009. Siding and roof replaced in 2011. 95% efficient furnace installed in 2011. Three bedrooms upstairs and full bathroom.
In 2014, we added a full bath on the main floor and turned the old water closet into a real coat closet. We also rebuilt the side deck adding wider steps for added safety and convenience.
in 2015, we have doubled the size of the upstairs bathroom and added a laundry room with many updated features including all new windows, insulated walls, new wiring, new plumbing, floating vinyl plank flooring, tile, USB outlet and GFCI protected outlets to name a few. This room has all of the amenities that you would expect to find in new construction. Additionally, we have upgraded the electrical service, replaced the windows on the main floor (lifetime transferable warranty on the windows), replaced all of the remaining plumbing and replaced all the knob and tube wiring.
