Do you love the character of historic homes but would like the comfort and peace of mind that comes with new construction? Here is a rare opportunity for you to have both! This 1911, 4 bed 2 bath home has been meticulously restored from top to bottom and is ready for the new owner to enjoy without a care of maintenance for years to come. With countless modern updates made, the home's historical integrity was carefully considered throughout the restoration process. Exterior improvements include fresh paint, siding, sod and landscaping along with a new front porch. The spacious lot gives you multiple entrances with a front driveway, rear alley access and a new sidewalk. Energy efficiency was kept in mind with the installation of new Marvin windows, new heating, cooling, ductwork, plumbing, along with a complete re-insulation and re-wire of the home. The bright kitchen will grab your attention with quartz countertops, custom Amish cabinets, stainless-steel appliances and new luxury tile. Throughout the home you'll see the character pour out with professionally refinished hardwood floors, original hardware and trim, pocket doors, front and rear interior stairways and a reimagined floorplan that doesn't compromise the 1900 feel of the home. This home was taken down to the studs for the preservation so any and every update you could imagine, has already been tastefully completed.
