Renovated by Rapid Realty Solutions in 2022 - This Victorian style home has a new lease on life. The list of new things is too long to list. Renovated from the inside/out. New interior walls, flooring, lighting, and paint. Every room was stripped to the studs and insulated, wired, bathrooms plumbed. Recessed lighting was added in many rooms. Windows were all replaced with new vinyl replacements. The kitchen is the gem of this home. Granite counter-tops everywhere you look, luxury vinyl plank floors (hickory styling), beautiful white shaker style cabinets, stainless steel farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliance package that includes a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and over/range (electric). Lots of storage, Pantry, and a desk for organizing the home. Off the kitchen is the huge pressure treated deck. .. perfect to chill or host an event. The 1st floor includes a large living room and dining room, laundry/half bathroom. ÃÂ We kept the original staircase and millwork that speaks to the craftsmanship back in the day. A fresh coat of white makes it stand out. The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms and a hall bathroom. The main bedroom has ceiling fan, carpets, and a closet, plus enjoy your private bathroom complete with single bowl vanity sinks, beautiful floors, and a modern stall shower. .. they didn't have this in 1870! All of the other bedrooms are carpeted with ceiling fans. The hall bathroom has the tub/shower and very nicely done. The 3rd floor is perfect for anyone who wants to be at the top of the house. Really cute space that can be a 4th bedroom, gym, or space to work from home as that is now the trend. The basement was a challenge from day 1. Lots was done to make this a great place for storage. Basement 911 installed the perimeter water prevention system and all walls were parched. This space will require you to use imagination, but storage is now a possibility. Old school, but new hurricane/Dorothy doors installed. The Exterior also has much to boast about. New siding over stucco makes this home's 1st impression wow you. Keeping with the Victorian look siding was used to match the style. End to end covered front porch is a perfect place to put the rockers and enjoy the County air at night. New concrete walkways and other landscaping adds to the charm. New driveway and crushed stone in the front for additional parking and easier access to the home. Lastly there is the huge barn/garage in the rear. 2 story with barn door opening. Painted classic red to add to the appeal. So many possibilities come to mind, but we had to leave something for the new Owner of this beautiful Victorian to do. Other features include a new septic system, well equipment, solar panels that can be turned on if you feel like being part of the Green Movement. The list of renovations are vast and documented for your knowledge. You may feel you are in the middle of nowhere, but you are minutes away from everything and everywhere. Conveniently located and on just under 1 acre (. 73). Come check out this unique home that is waiting for the right Buyer. Easy to show.
