This stunning home has every ounce of charm you can desire in Downtown Merced. Walk up to the house, and you will find a delightful front patio with mature trees and a view of the historic Laura's Fountain. A third room serves as a reading room but can quickly shift into a bedroom or office as you enter the home. Turn into the living room, which has windows that have been repaired, glazed, primed, and painted recently. Between the living room and the kitchen is a formal dining room to enjoy meals and entertain just in time for the holidays. The kitchen has a new Whirlpool Refrigerator, a Frigidaire electric stove and dishwasher that will all be staying with the home, a new kitchen sink and faucet, and new garbage disposal with all new wiring. The kitchen includes an eating area with windows looking out to the backyard. Now to the bedrooms; the guest bedroom was gutted of the old carpets and paint and now brightened with new paint. The hallway bathroom received plumbing updates as the charm stayed in place. Down the hallway, where you will find plenty of closets for linen storage, will lead you to the master bedroom. Spacious, with new paint, plenty of closet space, and additional storage. The bathroom attached to this room allows for vanity, a bath or shower, and countertop space to utilize. Walk through the laundry room in the backyard. A covered patio that was recently stabilized with new wood and allows for shade to enjoy this large backyard. With a shed for all your tools and gardening appliances, a basement that can be used for storage or a wine cellar, and RV Parking for your RV, Boat, or additional vehicles. The detached garage is currently used as a home office; due to its size, you can use this space for multi-purpose. There is a driveway outside the garage that fits two cars. The homeowners have put in plenty of work to bring this 1926 classic home up to date. Including a new 4 ton AC unit, all electrical outlets becoming grounded, reinforcing the subfloor pier block, updating plumbing, installing a sewer cleanout, caulking and prepping the garage exterior walls, new blinds throughout, and more!
