Lovingly restored Turn-of-the Century Arts & Crafts style home. Original woodwork is intact throughout the house and enormous care has been taken to ensure new items - such as the breakfast nook's stone foundation- were made to match and enhance the homes beautiful architecture inside and out. This home is a tribute to the skill of great artisans, yet updated for the 21st century without losing the original charm, making this an ideal and welcoming family home. The original front door made of oak and beveled glass opens into the expansive foyer, complete with a light-reflecting leaded glass window. Now stand back and take in the restored wood columns, working fireplace in the living room, hardwood floors and the eye-catching staircase. The still functioning pocket doors lead from the living room into the formal dining room complete with a bay window area with built-in drawers for additional storage. Now walk into the kitchen and behold the custom-made solid maple kitchen cabinets, stainless appliances and the natural ceramic tile floor which offers an efficient & welcoming kitchen. The breakfast nook's double French doors lead out to the newly added back porch with a yard that is wonderfully shaded. The second floor bedrooms with original old-growth pine plank floors and exceptional plaster walls are spacious and have surprisingly large closets. The most loved room in the house is at the end of the hall - the fully screened upper floor porch, is a quiet retreat away from the bustle of the house. (I think it's the best version of an adult tree house!) The second floor full bath has a 1940's cast-iron porcelain tub and tiled walls has one of the handiest features - a laundry chute the leads straight to the laundry room in the full basement. The third floor attic has been insulated and has the beginnings of a wonderful master suite. Enjoy the evenings on the expansive front porch and admire the wonderful landscaping and check out the cool mailbox!
