About This Home

This turn-of-the-century two-story home has been painstakingly remodeled with modern updates that combine the character and charm of the home’s original era with today’s modern choices. The home was moved onto a new block basement foundation in the 1970’s. At that time the sellers believe the home was extensively renovated to include new drywall throughout, electrical updates, and new wiring. Since purchasing the home the sellers did additional electrical upgrades and plumbing improvements, they replaced the siding with Diamond Kote LP SmartSiding in 2021, the roof above the porch was replaced by Roofworx about 1.5 years ago, new gutters with leaf guards were installed, and a new privacy fence with an 8’ gate and a 4’ gate was installed in 2024. The sprinkler system has a B-hyve Contoller and the system was reworked and updated when the fence was installed. The north end of the yard has a hydrant for the garden to make for easier watering and the backyard was recently reseeded! The windows have also been updated in recent years. The interior of this home is absolutely amazing. Most of the hardwood flooring is original, it has been refinished, and it was stained with a custom color using red mahogany and honey tones. Most of the trim work and casing in the home was redone to match the era of this home and was stained to complement the flooring. The interior doors are solid wood. Many were either original to the home or thoughtfully sourced from antique stores. The swinging door just inside the entryway came from the Buffalo County courthouse, Room 303! The kitchen was completely renovated in 2019 to include quartz countertops, tile flooring, and LG stainless steel appliances. The cabinetry is inset which is a feature of the early 1900’s period cabinetry, has antique replicated hardware, and has the soft close feature. The butler’s pantry has a swinging door, quartz countertops, and is so unique! The tastefully designed office has built-in desks and bookshelves and the woodwork on the staircase has been meticulously refinished and stained. The main upstairs bathroom was renovated in 2025 and includes a single slipper claw foot tub, an onyx shower base, beautiful tile work, a double sink vanity with quartz countertops, an exhaust fan with a heater and an LED light, and heated floors with a programmable timer system. The primary suite bathroom has an onyx shower, newer vanity, and tile flooring. The primary suite has a walk-in closet with custom shelving. The other bedrooms feature built-ins, custom styled closets, and/or lofts. The basement includes a convenient kitchenette. This exceptional home blends historic character with thoughtful updates and is truly designed to be your dream home!
