Functional Floorplan with Updates
Through the front door, you’ll enter a welcoming front entryway, currently used
as an additional lounging or entertaining space. It’s a versatile area that is perfect
for storing shoes and coats, and spacious enough for small furniture such as a
hall tree, shoe rack, or bench. From here, you step into the living room, a
large, open space with two picture windows overlooking the front and side
yards, both filling the room with natural light. A built-in bookshelf,
currently used as an entertainment center with a mounted TV, adds both function
and character. In the corner sits a gas-powered wood stove that operates
without electricity, providing a reliable second heat source during power
outages. The home’s main heat comes from a Rheem forced-air furnace, and
central air conditioning keeps it comfortable in warmer months. The exterior window
panes have been updated to vinyl but wooden interior windows remain, the
windows in the basement are wooden.
The living room connects to a small foyer, leading either to
the kitchen or down a hallway to the bedrooms and full bathroom. Both
main-floor bedrooms are generously sized, with one slightly larger than the
other. The smaller bedroom offers a standard closet, while the larger features
an expansive closet running the full length of the room, complete with deep overhead
storage. The bathroom blends vintage charm with modern updates, showcasing
original sage-green tile halfway up the walls alongside refreshed black and
gold accents. Fixtures have been replaced, including a rainfall showerhead, and
the vanity and medicine cabinet have been painted black with updated gold
hardware to complement the look. The bathroom flooring has also been updated in
recent years.
In the small foyer, a mirrored built-in cabinet has been converted into a coffee
bar. The kitchen has also had multiple updates, including painted cabinets with
modern black hardware and Formica countertops with a faux copper finish. A
trendy peel-and-stick tile backsplash complements the cabinet color perfectly,
while LED strip lighting under the cabinets provides both lighting and a warm, glow
in the evenings. The flooring was recently updated with gray laminate that ties
in perfectly with the home’s overall color palette. Included kitchen appliances
are a gas range and a refrigerator.
From the kitchen, you can step into the back entryway, which offers space for a
standing closet and coat rack. From here, you can head downstairs or out the
back door. The basement includes a spacious utility room housing the Rheem
furnace, gas washer, and gas dryer, as well as an open half-bath with a toilet
and sink. This area also has some built-in shelving and cabinets. There is a
sump pump is located beneath the sink for added protection against water
intrusion.
The remainder of the 1,008± square feet in the basement is a large open space
with two non-egress windows, one on the west side and one on the east side of
the home. While currently finished with painted cement floors and walls, it
offers a great opportunity for a new owner to update or fully finish the space
to suit their needs. The basement also includes a bonus room with a non-egress
window and a closet, finished with commercial carpet. This room is currently
used as a home office.

private space for entertaining. The large fenced area has plenty of room for various
activities and features a fruit-producing apple tree. Included in the sale is a
gas-plumbed barbecue connected directly to the gas meter, eliminating the need
to haul propane. The yard features a recently installed privacy fence with
walk-through gates providing easy access to both the front and back yards. The
back gate leads to additional off-street parking, the enclosed patio, garage,
and alley.

brick-paved area that leads to the 12’ x 20’ enclosed patio. This patio is attached to the north side of
the garage and overlooks the backyard, it is a nice screened-in space ideal for
relaxing and entertaining. The screens make it nice for keeping out mosquitoes
and other pests in the summer months.

elements. To the east of the carport, there is a graveled area offering more
off-street parking.
