Overview

Description

Pride of ownership is present throughout this timeless arts & crafts home, where old-world character meets modern updates, all at an unbelievable value. Inside you'll find beautifully preserved original woodwork throughout, a wood-burning fireplace who's hearth is flanked by built-in glass cabinet bookshelves, an original featured stained glass window by the famed Witte Brothers Glass company, and a preserved built in buffet that services the dining room: showcasing craftsmanship rarely found at this price point. Adding to its charm, the home also includes the yellowing original 1 924 construction material receipts and paperwork, offering a unique view into its storybook history. The remodeled kitchen (2021) tastefully adds modern conveniences, while major improvements (forced air furnace and A/C 2016, new roof 201 5, chimney cap 2020) provide comfort and peace of mind. The unfinished basement provides substantial storage and/or a blank slate for room to expand. A truly exceptional value for the level of character and care, don't miss it!
