The home's sturdy structure begins with steel beam construction, providing superior support and load-bearing capacity while contributing to exceptional strength and stability. Timeless character and charm continue throughout every room. The exterior features a combination of brick and wood siding, while the interior offers plaster walls and genuine hardwood flooring throughout. The cozy living room is highlighted by an impressive, nearly wall-length brick wood-burning fireplace. The functional kitchen includes a double sink, smooth-top range, abundant storage, and attractive upper display cabinetry featuring decorative translucent cabinet doors. Enjoy meals while taking in beautiful backyard views from the dining area. This split-level home also features a basement with convenient access to the oversized two-car side-entry garage. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a property that combines country living, quality construction, and exceptional outbuildings with endless potential.
