RICH IN HISTORY AND LOADED WITH UPDATES! Step inside this historic home and fall in love. The gorgeous original woodwork has been preserved, never painted and stands the test of time. Rich hardwood floors throughout most of the home - this home is completely carpet free. Many windows are are graced with the original stained glass confirming the rich history. In addition, glass doorknobs and the brass hardware are still in tact have been lovingly preserved. You can imagine yesteryear as you step into the foyer allowing sweeping views of the grand staircase. Please note the entrance to the formal living room and dining room are through fully functioning pocket doors. You will love the generously sized rooms perfect for today's lifestyle. The sunroom off the Living Room adds to the charm and allows more natural light to pour in. The owners found the swinging kitchen door in the attic and restored and rehung it for its original function. In the kitchen you will find new quartz countertops, new island and all new appliances. The majority of the windows have been replaced as well as the roof and vinyl siding was installed over the original wood. A new electric panel was installed & the central air conditioning was recently replaced as well. Additional updates include: both bathrooms were remodeled with new vanities plus a shower was added on the 1st floor, the exterior was painted in 2021, the basement walls and ceilings were sealed making the space clean and dry, the attic was insulated, the washer & dryer were replaced in 2023. A favorite spot will be the expansive front porch graced with side curtains for added privacy. The basement is full and offers exterior access. A detached garage offers room for 2 cars plus additional storage. Mature trees can be found in the peaceful & private backyard: just beyond the backyard is a bluff leading down to the Waubonsie Creek. The property is nearly 3/4 of an acre and offers a location that enables you to walk to parks, schools, library, shops and restaurants. Come fall in love with the history and stay for the charm!!
