This charming 3BD/2BA home provides the space you need inside and the space you WANT outside! Wait until you see the incredible panoramic view for yourself. The historic character of this home has been restored with the original hardwood floors, build in cabinets throughout, and scalloped entry ways. The front door opens to a bench with hooks and seating - perfect for guests to remove their shoes/coats. The living room is generously sized with light coming from the front windows. Through the scalloped entry, you'll go into the dining room with built-in cabinets in two corners. From the dining room, you can also walk out to the rear deck/background. Through the dining room is the updated kitchen with a full pantry closet and access to the basement. The full 34x29 basement was recently updated with Bright Wall Waterproof Panel System - fresh, clean, and safe space for decades to come. See the flyer details about what was done in the disclosure/documents downloads. The upstairs loft/office area is perfect for a kid's hang out, too! Speaking of kids, the floor in the loft area is from the old BBCHS gym floor. How's that for a community connection!? Upstairs, you'll find the second updated bathroom in the home along with two bedrooms. Be sure to see the built in drawers and window seat in the rear bedroom! The 9x14 deck is covered for the perfect hang out spot. Down the steps, and you'll discover the garden, the shed, and the fire pit. The garden is 16x24 with 3 raised bed areas. There's also a smoker that's remaining; the current homeowner has never used it. The shed is 8x12 and the garage is 12x20.
