Overview

Description

This 1941 Colonial-style home offers the perfect fusion of classic architectural soul and extensive modern updates, ensuring a move-in-ready experience for the next owner. Every major exterior component has been addressed: the house and garage were reroofed in 2024, and a fresh exterior look provided by new siding on the house and one side of the garage in 2024. Additionally, new windows installed on the west side of the house in 2024 enhance both the home’s aesthetic and its energy efficiency. Inside, the traditional floor plan is anchored by a centering fireplace in the main-level living room and a cozy 3-season porch that serves as a favorite retreat for coffee and reading.The functional layout features three bedrooms on the upper level, including a primary with double closets, a main-level 1/2 bath and formal dining room. The mostly finished lower level offers a rustic family room and a versatile bonus space—perfect for a home office or potential 4th bedroom. For those who prioritize utility, the massive 24x48 detached garage with two overhead doors (street & alley access) is a true showstopper, offering enough depth to park a truck and boat while still connected. This property is further elevated by a new furnace and central air system (2023), providing significant value and long-term peace. With an oversized yard, a private patio, and plenty of storage, this property offers a unique lifestyle opportunity that combines historic soul with premier utility.
