About this House

Desirable, old Mentor Village area is convenient to everything! Great neighborhood with sidewalks and a wide variety of charming homes. The original construction dates back to 1952 so yes, it is old. However, when considering the roof lines, massive stone chimney, matching stone accents, corner windows, octagon window, covered front porch, unique archways, coved ceilings, hardwood flooring, full basement and overall craftsmanship ... this is a solid and very well built home! Functional floor plan with generous room sizes. Many recent updates - furnace and AC unit (March of 2022), both bathrooms, electrical service panel, professional painting, window treatments and some newer flooring. Vinyl replacement windows. All appliances included.

The basement is strategically divided to accommodate a laundry/utility area, valuable storage spaces and a "retro" rec room. Storage nook with closet in front. The wide hallway leading to the rec room offers upper cabinetry, more storage and overflow closet space. The "retro" rec room was finished years ago with creative, quality workmanship and in good condition ... paneled walls, cabinetry with counter space, rounded bar with wet sink & accent lighting and laminate flooring.

Cozy, covered front porch. Detached garage with automatic door opener, two windows, ample lighting and shelving. The garage man door is just a few paces away from the rear entry of the home which enters into a practical mud room or drop zone. A spacious, paver stone patio, between the garage and the home, creates a private courtyard area.

This lot offers generous dimensions and plenty of play area. Natural buffering/screening from neighbors and the rear yard is fenced-in. Character galore and available for immediate occupancy.
