Property Description
Fall in love with this picture-perfect storybook home-where timeless character meets thoughtful modern updates. Originally a Sears Catalog "Honor Built Modern Home No. 13302, The Ridgeland Model," this gem has been lovingly updated while preserving every ounce of its historic charm. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by rich hardwood floors that flow throughout the majority of the home. The inviting living and dining room, warmed by a cozy fireplace, sets the stage for everything from festive gatherings to quiet nights in. The cheerful kitchen is truly the heart of the home, with granite counters, newer cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances. It opens seamlessly to the dining room and a sun-drenched family/sunroom, where shiplap walls and ceiling frame panoramic views-a perfect spot for morning coffee or curling up with a good book. A main floor bedroom and full bath add comfort and versatility. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms brimming with character, along with a stunning updated hall bath featuring a glass-door shower. The recently finished lower level adds even more living space, with a stylish rec room, laundry, and plenty of storage. Step outside and let the charm continue-a large deck overlooks the beautifully landscaped yard, perfect for alfresco dinners, summer parties, or stargazing under the night sky. The current owners have taken this home to the next level with thoughtful updates, including new HVAC, windows, roof, chimney tuckpointing, and in 2024, a brand-new 2-car garage and driveway. Nestled near town, train, library, shops, and restaurants, this turnkey treasure is ready to welcome you home.
