Description
From the moment you arrive, the home's beautiful round turret captures your attention, paired with the inviting front porch updated with Trex decking, built-in lighting, and flower boxes set the stage for relaxing on your front porch. Stepping through the front door, the turret currently being used as office space creates a bright, circular room that feels both unique and inspiring - an ideal spot for reading, working, or simply enjoying its character. Just beyond, a fully renovated bathroom offers quality finishes and convenience. Flowing further into the home, you're welcomed into the spacious dining and living room, where tall ceilings and hardwood floors showcase the craftsmanship of the era while creating a warm, open feel perfect for gatherings. The kitchen continues the balance of function and charm, with plenty of workspace for everyday cooking. A 12x7 room has been converted to a large walk-in pantry complete with an additional fridge and freezer. Hidden within the closet is plumbing already in place for an easy conversion to a half bath, adding even more flexibility to the home. There is also a cozy breakfast nook with sliding glass doors that lead out to the expansive corner lot and detached garage. Upstairs, four bedrooms provide generous closet space for everyone, while the primary suite stands out with its thoughtfully organized walk-in closet. One of the additional bedrooms includes an area that could serve as a sitting room, office, or dressing space with access to a walk-up attic, great for storage or could be finished off for more space. An updated full bathroom with quality finishes completes the second floor. Full unfinished basement, gas heat and central air. Major updates completed, front porch, siding, windows, roof, furnace, central air in 2007 and bathrooms in 2021- this home combines the charm of historic architecture with modern comfort and thoughtful improvements. It's a well loved home and is ready for its next new homeowner!

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageUnless your child has the proper last name, do no let them go to this school. Bullying is rampant, and despite their “dedication to bullying prevention”, nothing is ever done.Parent Review3y ago - Epg Middle School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen you hear people say they are proud to be EPG, it's because of schools like this in the district. As a parent of a child with special needs, I cannot express how supportive and helpful the teachers & staff are. This school has something special going on in the way they are teaching children how to be good, kind humans, along with the important stuff. The new building, top-notch band & music programs, and commitment to academic achievement as well as strong athletics is impressive. They keep parents informed, encourage involvement, and want each child to succeed.Parent Review2y ago - Centennial School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love this school. I am a parent of a 4th grader with a learning disability and I have nothing bad to say about the teachers at this school. They have been very helpful and love working with him. We recently moved to this school this year and it already has taught him more on how to read better then the old school did in 4 years. I would like to also say that they have a no bullying policy and look out for the kids. This is a great school and I would recommend anyone to bring their children here.Parent Review11y ago - Jefferson Park School
