About This Home
Classic English Cottage architecture, quality all-brick construction, and incredible original character make this a rare opportunity for someone ready to restore a truly special home. While extensive updating is needed, few homes offer the craftsmanship and potential found here. Original oak hardwood floors, a decorative wood-burning fireplace framed by a stunning bay window that floods the living room with natural light, a spacious primary bedroom, and a formal dining room featuring original custom built-ins with the perfect opportunity to add a future sliding door overlooking a backyard deck provide an outstanding foundation for restoration. Downstairs you'll find a partially finished family room, two non-code bedrooms, and plenty of additional storage and flexible living space. Outside, the mostly privacy-fenced backyard, detached garage, and charming covered front porch perfectly reflect the timeless appeal of this highly sought-after architectural style. Homes with this level of original craftsmanship, architectural character, and untapped potential are becoming increasingly difficult to find. If you've been searching for a home worthy of your vision and effort, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
