Description

A beautiful example of a home built with love by a true craftsman. This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home was built by a cabinetmaker back in 1925, and his beautiful artistry in cabinetmaking still exists in the original cabinets in the kitchen, and through the home. This gem has the craftsman characteristics both inside and out. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout the main floor, original woodwork, and lovely pillars attached to shelving split the dining room from the living room. Two bedrooms on the main floor are separated by a hallway with wonderful original built in cabinets, and a bathroom that still has the original pedestal tub. Later the attic was converted into more living space when two large bedrooms were finished upstairs along with a full bathroom shared by both. A detached oversized two car garage has a large finished room (approx 20x25) above it, accessed by outside stairs, along with nice workspace area adjacent to the garage. In addition, this homes comes with the adjacent lot (714 W Jackson) which is actually a separate parcel. All appliances will stay, boiler system was replaced in 2021. Lovingly taken care of, this home is ready for a new family to make it their own.

    "Dogs are welcome and I have never seen one loose. Some people do not pick up their animals waste, which I think is very rude.. the “Dog Run” is not what is perceived on the pamphlets, it is very small fenced in area..so everyone just lets their dogs go on any grassy area"
