Description
Over a century's worth of charm (with smart updates through the years), and a sense of timeless beauty, this vintage farmhouse (in an urban setting) has some Victorian elements and is a MUST SEE! No farmhouse is without a porch - this one delivers...TWO! The hardwood floors are beautiful, narrow planks in terrific condition. The wide baseboards (never painted) and window casings add a touch of class, not found today. 9' high ceilings gives a spacious feeling on the main floor. Ceiling fans in every room. A main floor bedroom would be an ideal office, adjacent to a full bathroom. Upstairs we have two spacious and charming bedrooms, with another full bathroom. All of this is located on a beautiful lot, with a detached garage and lots of outdoor space for entertaining - featuring a paver patio and sidewalk. Unfinished basement has room for storage and an exterior door for ease of ingress. We do have updates!! Larger closets than you'd expect, central air, updated electrical (so glad!!!), and updated plumbing. Plenty of newer features and comforts found in the 20th century that were not available 13 years after the civil war, when this home was built. The current owners have lovingly maintained this home and added their touches. Chip and Joanna Gaines would have called this inviting home, "the move-in ready Victorian farmhouse just steeped in charm." An HMS warranty is included! Make it yours TODAY!
