Step into timeless quality with this beautifully crafted 2-story home built in 1941 by John M. Moore of the Moore Lumber Company. Designed with an architectural engineer’s precision and built using hand-selected lumber, this home blends historic character with thoughtful updates. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a walk-up attic ideal for storage or future expansion, this property sits on a spacious 0.40-acre fenced lot. Inside, you’ll find solid oak floors, crown molding, and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the inviting living room. The main floor office/den offers custom built-in bookshelves, while the mudroom includes built-in benches and lockers for everyday convenience. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove (with electric hookup available), and all kitchen appliances remain with the home. The walk-out basement adds living flexibility with a large family room perfect for movie or game nights and a multifunctional laundry area that includes a shower and sink. Think storage or exercise room space! Recent updates include: new boiler system (Dec 2023), radon mitigation system (2020), new driveway and front sidewalk (2021), fresh paint throughout main and upper floors (including ceilings in the kitchen and mudroom), updated bathrooms with epoxy-painted floors and shower tile. See the amenities list for further updates. Quality craftsmanship, abundant character, and modern updates make this home a rare find. Look for the laundry chute doors on main and upper level, check out the tree swing in the backyard, and practice your jump shot at the basketball hoop in the driveway by the 2 car detached garage. This is a great opportunity to own a piece of local history on a beautiful tree-lined street!
