Old Style Charm with Modern Convenience
This 4-bedroom 2.5 bath home features a large .25-acre lot that borders Blossom-Gulch Elementary. Children can walk to school without ever having to leave the property before they reach the school grounds. Both Marshfield High School and Coos County Library are within easy walking distance.
The large private master suite has a sunrise view of both the bay and downtown. Included in the master suite is a bath and large walk-in closet/dressing area. The remaining 3 bedrooms are approximately 12'x12' nominal dimensions. This home also features a laundry room in close proximity to the bedrooms for added convenience.
Registered in Coos County in 1910, this home has undergone extensive remodeling and upgrades in recent years. The well-lit kitchen includes range, dishwasher, double-sink and disposal. The period-style cabinets match the home decor, while providing large "lazy-susan" rotating platforms in the corners. The refrigerator space is pre-plumbed with an icemaker connection.
Both the adjoining dining room and bathroom have exterior door access to the back deck. The deck has a city view and is a perfect location for having a Bar-B-Q and watching the 4th of July fireworks over the bay.
The Electrical System has been completely replaced and updated to 1997 code standards. Electrical receptacles, phone jacks and cable connections are plentiful throughout the home. The solid brass light fixture in the entry is believed to be one of the original from the home. It was also updated and rewired in 1997.
The plumbing system has also been completely replaced and updated to 1997 code standards. From the water meter connection, the fresh water supply is all new, and all of the piping within the home is copper instead of the cheaper PVC and CPVC found in track-built homes. The hot water tank was replaced in 2003. The clawfoot tub on the bedroom floor boasts a new solid brass period faucet with exposed brass fittings.
Energy efficiency has been built into the remodel. Although limited by the age and style of the home, the following features were added to improve the energy efficiency of this turn of the century home. All of the exterior walls and ceilings have had either blown-in insulation or fiberglass insulation. The custom double-pane windows are low-e. New vinyl siding was added in 2005. An additional layer of foam insulation was also added at that time. The home has zonal electric heat that allows the homeowner to heat each room to its own temperature setting, thus allowing for greater energy flexibility.
Continuous laminate flooring was added in 2005-2006. Care was taken to have very few seams between rooms. The formal living room has period-style carpeting that highlights the almost 10 high, tin-look, ceilings on the main floor.
The oversize (deep) 1 car garage, storage room and shop comprise the daylight basement floor. Off-street parking is provided in the back, which could also double as a sports court. The double-width driveway is shared with the home immediately to the East of the home. New foundation and roof were both added as new construction in 1997.
