Property Description

This charming Colonial/Tudor home is now on the market, ready for its next owner. It offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, beautiful hardwood floors, and a pine-paneled den with built-in cabinets, all set on a 75 x 125-foot lot. The large, window-filled living area is accented by a vintage brick, wood-burning fireplace, while the formal dining room, easily reached from the kitchen, is perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings. The kitchen opens into a 9 x 6 sunroom overlooking a landscaped backyard with private southern exposure. Upstairs, oversized bedrooms and a full bath highlight the home's classic 1930s design. There's also a spacious 12 x 29 area with a 6 x 12 wing, an attic area that could be finished for extra space. The yard features a rock retaining wall, a wishing well with a water feature, and an outdoor rock fireplace, with stones collected from across the country. A Finnish type of dry sauna offers a great place to relax from a busy day! A deep, single-stall attached garage and newly fenced yard add privacy and leisure, complemented by perennials, lilacs, and hostas. Located in a quiet Ely neighborhood, this home is full of original character and close to all Ely has to offer!
