Classic 2 Story 2 BR 1 Bath Craftsman

Absolutely charming inside and out! The yard is your own private oasis in the city, and the home is full of well-maintained and updated character. The pride of ownership, attention to detail, creative flair, and quality workmanship is evident inside and out. The fenced yard is fully landscaped, is brimming with easy-care perennials, has walk-ways and sitting nooks, and features a waterfall going into a pond, fire pit, arbor along with several places to sit and enjoy it all. The 1608+ sq ft home, already graced with beautiful natural woodwork and details such as the square columns above the glass front bookshelves separating living from dining rooms, and the glassed, mission style pocket door, has been lifted to new heights by painstaking upgrades. The full bath on the upper level was gutted and remodeled by previous owner. Other additions and upgrades include: newer patio doors from the kitchen to the deck; the deck was expanded; wainscot and shelving along the staircase were added; all light fixtures throughout the home have been replaced; the entire interior and exterior have been tastefully and expertly repainted (exterior trim repainted 2009); a new roof installed in late 2007; a new natural gas boiler for radiator heat was installed in 2005; and a new water heater installed in 2009. There are loads of shelving throughout the basement including the large workshop and small craftroom. Basement also has single toilet in enclosed stall.  There is a nice computer room or small bedroom off the dining room, and the master bedroom is exceptionally large. There is a 1.5 car garage that comfortably holds one car while winter storing a second. All appliances convert to new owner (refrigerator, stove, washer and dryer, and basement refrigerator).  Seller is motivated toward creative financing. Options include: Lease to Buy. Lease house for one to two years with 80% of rent going into escrow that is applied to your down payment at closing. This is a very good option for first time home buyers or those with less-than-perfect credit. For a cash purchase price, the seller will kick in an additional $5,000 at closing, making final sale price $80,000. We just do not want to sell below market and hurt local property values.
