This genuinely feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity on this jaw dropping restored craftsman home! Sitting on a flat 2.5 acres of land on a great street that blends rural atmosphere with in-town proximity. Upgraded inside and out with vintage details and beautiful finishes! The gorgeous and completely custom Amish made kitchen was just completed in 2020. Enveloping both the kitchen and dining areas with built ins, storage, and unique features. Aesthetics, convenience and function were the foundation of each decision made. just some of the kitchen features include heated floors, soft close doors/drawers, under cabinet lighting, quartz counters, black walnut butcher block island counter, and separate coffee bar with sink. The rest of the first floor contains a large living room, with adjoining study area with woodstove (capable of heating the whole house). There is also a full bath and an enclosed side porch with kitchenette that could be combined with the bathroom to create a first floor suite, or remain as is for an additional bedroom, office, or playroom. The 2nd floor has 3 full bedrooms, including the master suite with a walk-through closet area. The bathroom has stand up shower, jack and jill doors, and spa-like claw foot soaking tub. Full basement with washer/dryer. Over the last several years the home has been upgraded with central vac system, 200 amp panel, generator hook-up, new roof, vinyl replacement windows, blown insulation in the attic and walls, and custom entry doors. The unique aspects of this property continue to the outside with the the 30ft x 33ft pole barn completed in 2017 with lots of storage room, and 2 front and 1 side overhead doors, plus a carport. The yard was trenched and field tiled for water drainage. A covered front porch, rear porch, and a newly stamped concrete patio give you plenty of options to sit and enjoy this home and the amount of work and love that was put into each detail of it. You will not be disappointed, a truly charming home filled with character and glamour like no other.
