Cozy Craftman Home

     Classic Craftsman Style & Charm That is Near Everything! This classic, solidly built, 1930s, 4 bedroom, 1 and a half bath, home has been lovingly taken care of over the years. It has received many updates since the current owners took possession in 1997. Partial bathroom remodel in 1999, new garage roof in 2003, new house roof and gutters in 2011, 14 new windows, new front sidewalks, new backsplash, dishwasher and faucets in the kitchen and a new water heater.  Much of the plumbing has been replaced as well as all the carpet. Every room in the house has been repainted and redecorated (with the exception of a few closets).

     But wait, there is more! The house sits on a full, walkout basement! Currently one half is set up as a woodworking shop and the other side is used for storage. There is a utility sink and half bath in the basement. Great potential for other uses.

     But wait, there is more! The home is being sold with an 8 x 12 storage barn and additional city lot! Plenty of room for the kids, pets, a garden, a pool: basically whatever your heart desires. There are many flowering perennials including lilacs, peonies, daylilies, tulips, iris and hostas. There is also a variety of trees such as maple, redbud, ornamental pear, dogwood, hickory, and walnut. There is even a quince tree, a grape arbor and a rhubarb patch!

      Looking for a house with character? This house is brimming with it! Much of the original dark oak trim remains around the floors, doors and windows. There is an extra wide oak front door with beveled glass windows, original, working cast iron radiators and secret staircase. A large, beveled glass picture window which overlooks the large front porch adds to the warm charm of this home.

     When it comes to location this one is hard to beat. This home is within easy walking distance of parks, award winning schools, movie theaters, the library, restaurants, banks and city government. Soon you will be walking everywhere and using the car just for trips to one of the many nearby lakes. If you are looking for a great home with charm, style and low maintenance in a great location, do not let this opportunity slip away! Call now for your private showing!
