Built in 1900, this home has been thoughtfully updated by its current owners. Enhancements include kitchen and bathroom renovations, new drywall, interior paint, and new flooring throughout. For backup heating, it also features two ventless gas heaters. The exterior of the home boasts white vinyl siding, black shutters, and a durable metal roof. The front entry is flanked by two attractive New Orleans gas lanterns though currently not operating, can be restorable to their original charm. A large covered front porch is complemented by an upstairs balcony, further enhancing the home's historic appeal. The first level includes the great room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a shared bath, a laundry room and a small bonus room. The second level has two large bedrooms and a shared bath. The living area is a wood-paneled corner room with 4 windows, a ceiling fan, and luxury vinyl wood flooring. The adjacent kitchen features laminated counters with a realistic-looking granite-type surface and a stainless-steel sink. The cabinetry is natural wood. Appliances include a Maytag refrigerator-freezer, an LG electric range and a Hotpoint dishwasher. The kitchen exits to a small back porch overlooking the yard, including apple trees, Second Creek and pond. The two bedrooms on the main level are similar in size and share a hallway bath with a shower-tub and solid surface vanity. The laundry room has Maytag appliances and a handy utility sink. A staircase in the entryway leads to the second level, where the landing provides access to the balcony overlooking the front yard. There are two large upstairs bedrooms with ceiling fans. One is paneled in wood and carpeted; the other needs similar finishing touches. The utility basement can be accessed by either a door in the kitchen or an outside entry in the rear. The home enjoys a truly exceptional setting, with evergreens, Japanese cherry trees, weeping willows, a grapevine, fruit trees and flower beds. The spacious yard has a stocked trout stream - Second Creek - running through the bottom of the property. A pond in the yard is fed by this stream. There's plenty of room for gardening, and lots of play space for privacy, entertaining and pets.
