Realtor Comments
Hand-built at the height of the Craftsman period, this early 20th century home will impress and captivate you with its modest attraction and impeccable details. Step through the brick-laid enclosed porch where the sights and sounds relax your evenings, across the hex-tiled entryway, and through the beveled glass french doors into the large living room. A decorative fireplace with built-ins standing sentry entices you and your guests to sit a spell. Make a cozy reading nook or use the original window seat for blanket storage! Rumor has it this house once belonged to a doctor and the built-in cupboard beside the window seat once was home to his medical supplies and concoctions. Through a second set of french doors the spacious dining room has a full-length buffet with ornamental details, and a plate rail with decorative moulding. A butler`s door separates the dining room from the eat-in kitchen. Down the hallway you will find two bedrooms and a bath with tub. The east bedroom has two walls of windows and private access to the bath. Original hex tile, a pedestal sink, built-in medicine cabinet, linen storage, and vanity round out this beautifully original bath. Windows and doors throughout pay homage to the prairie style with patterned grid lines; and for the interior bedrooms and bath, frosted glass panels. Upstairs, the finished attic shows potential for additional family room or bedrooms. Downstairs you`ll find the exit to the laundry chute, washer and dryer, and a canning kitchen. Tall ceilings and a finished room as large as the living room and existing plumbing could mean a game room or craft room. Outside the front gable and brackets make for a picturesque bungalow beside lilac bushes and a concrete patio below the porch. Around back, a two car detached garage, small yard, alley access, and a private wood patio round out this 3 bedroom 1+ bath home. If character is your style you will not want to miss out on this beauty! Please have PreApproval in hand to view!
