From the street, 250 N Ridge Avenue may appear to be just a cute little bungalow, but it is actually a spacious, (almost) 2,000 square foot home. True to its Craftsman style, the home boasts wonderful architectural details, including a swoon worthy, deep front porch with tapered square columns, lovely woodwork and moldings, the original transom windows above the doors downstairs, character rich curvatures and angles as a result of the the eaves and dormers on the second floor, and more. While the home has retained many original features, it also boasts important modern amenities such as central air, two full baths, a spacious, expanded kitchen with loads of storage and an incredible great room addition with wood burning stove and sliders to a huge, tiered deck. The first floor offers a versatile floor plan, with a formal living room (currently used as a dining room), dining room (set up as a playroom), bedroom (currently an office), full bath, kitchen and great room. The flow is fantastic and offers endless possibilities. The kitchen is large enough to accommodate a table and chairs and offers so much storage, that you'll be hard pressed to fill it all. The transition between the kitchen and great room is an oversized doorway, allowing you be in the kitchen, yet feel connected to those relaxing in the front of the TV. The scale of the great room is quite impressive, yet it still manages to feel cozy, particularly in the winter months, in front of the brick hearth and stove. Upstairs, there is a charming landing, a great space for a sitting area or reading nook, two spacious bedrooms, and a full bath, as well as plentiful storage. Outside you will find a beautiful fenced in yard, offering tons of room for play, raised beds for gardening and a sweet shed, complete with electric and work area. As previously mentioned, the deck off the great room is quite large, featuring separate spaces for both dining and lounging. The front porch is a great place to enjoy some conversation in the shade, or take cover and relax when it rains. Also of import, the natural light in this home is really special, every room is light filled and just makes you feel good. There is really nothing left to do, except add your personal touches, as the kitchen is modern, both bathrooms have been updated, the windows have been replaced, and a new roof was put on in 2014. Don't delay!
