Built in 1929

Spacious 2-story craftsman style home built in 1929 on a corner lot! Beautiful stone columns lead you onto the porch where you can rock the afternoon away with neighbors and friends. Character and charm are present in every room including real hardwood throughout both levels, two fireplaces and a butler's pantry. The kitchen was remodeled in 2011 to include antique heart pine floors, an exposed brick chimney, and custom hand built cabinets. Gas range is oversized and ready to handle the cooking for family and friends. Oversized primary bedroom with fireplace (non-functioning currently but so charming with wood detail and mirror). The remodeled primary bathroom features marble, natural stone, new plumbing and fixtures. Large upstairs laundry room could be used as an artist studio or any other hobby. The rooms are vast, the ceilings are high and the details are a nod to the home's 1920's origins. Don't forget to walk out back and check out the garage built in 2014. Hurry!
