Property 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!
