If you love beautiful turn-of-the Century Homes with an abundance of Charm and Character but still want well-functioning spaces with modern updates in your Kitchen and Baths and 2nd Floor Laundry which is a nice modern convenience, then this is the Home for you. Built in 1904 with Quality Craftsmanship, you get beautiful Original Hardwood Floors, Windows, Woodwork, Doors, Trim and Pocket Doors.

This Home originally had 3 Spacious Bedrooms but with the Finished Walk-up Attic Space, you can now have the entire 3rd Floor as the 4th Bedroom or Bonus Flex Space. The updated Kitchen has Maple Cabinets, Granite Countertops, Stainless Steel Appliances and Tiled Floors. Adjacent to the Kitchen is an updated Guest Half Bath with a beautiful Window. The 2nd Floor Bathroom is also updated with a beautiful large Tiled Walk-in Shower with an era defining Clawfoot Tub (even more character!), Tiled Floors, updated Toilet and White Pedestal Sink and the Laundry. All 3 Bedrooms on the 2nd Floor are spacious with updated Ceiling Fans/Lighting and generous Closets to boot. The Main Level has the gorgeous Living Room and Formal Dining Room that could both be closed off with the Original Pocket Doors plus a Sitting Room/Den or Office Space also with Pocket Doors.

Did I mention the huge covered Front Porch that feels like an extension of the Home? Plenty of space for outdoor furniture to enjoy the outdoors and your cup of tea or coffee or your favorite beverage. The back porch leads you to the huge tree-lined Fenced-in Backyard as this Home sits on a 17,282 SF (0.3970 acre) Lot with a Storage Shed plus a Concrete Pad that could be used as an Open Patio space. Plenty of room for Gardening and additional Sheds if needed. The Lot has a Concrete Driveway on one side and a Gravel Driveway on the other side and is situated about 4 Blocks from the State Fairgrounds. This home is the definition of timeless beauty. You are going to love it!
