Property Description
Wow--beautifully renovated 2 story ready for family and friends to enjoy. Come see a recently renovated home that truly stands out from the rest! The owner of this home is a talented home restoration specialist who does all his own work. Even better, this is the home where he has been raising his family, so it has been given more thought and care than most. From the 1959 NuTone doorbell to the ruggedly built kitchen island, the list of custom work is long: restored real hardwood floors, restored 1950s built-in cabinets updated with custom real-wood doors, custom cabinets built to match on the stove side, 17 restored doors all with brand-new hardware and hinges (they all close properly), an open-concept layout throughout the first floor with custom wooden archways, a custom kitchen island made from beams taken out of the original 1850s wall of this very home. The island lights up by motion sensors to give a warm glow as you enter or walk by. Beautiful custom bathroom wall tiling, custom medicine cabinet, and-last but certainly not least-the painstaking restoration of the 1950s real-wood windows throughout the home.Restored-really? You may wonder why the owner didn't replace them. These windows are 75 years old and now ready for another 75! Try that with any modern window (typically 15-30 years). A Stanford University study has shown that preserving original windows is better for both the environment and your pocketbook over the lifetime of the window. You also get to save a piece of history, and many find original windows far more aesthetically pleasing. This home is also very efficient thanks to updated gas central air and lower ceiling heights. Upstairs, you'll find a rare cedar closet for your woolen items and-believe it or not-his-and-hers master closets! Outside, you'll find a charming home with an equally charming garage. The highly desirable yard-and-a-half lot gives you plenty of elbow room. The current owner has used this space to create an annual garden, a strawberry patch, and a raspberry bush that produces fruit in the summer and again in the fall. He says his kids picked raspberries all the way until Nov 10th. this past fall. A stately red maple tree shows off its colors along the rear yard. The attention to detail in the renovations is truly remarkable. From perfectly closing refinished vintage doors to bumpers on the sliding closet doors, to repurposed wood made into the kitchen island-- This is a home not to be missed!!!
