This home has charm with a capital C! From the minute you step into the foyer you're greeted with natural woodwork and the charm begins. Hardwood floors, a pocket door, wood beams and columns, leaded glass windows and bay windows are just some of the features seen throughout this home. Adjacent to the fully applianced kitchen is a butler pantry and a walk in pantry. Whether working or studying you'll want to spend time in the cozy office, complete with a built in bookcase. The family room could be a first floor bedroom if one was ever needed with an adjoining full bathroom. The 5th bedroom is currently used as an upstairs sitting room, but it could be a master bedroom with adjoining full bath. Don't miss the walk up attic that's floored and ideal for storage. The main bath upstairs has been tastefully remodeled to fit the homes era. Enter the basement where you'll find a large woodworking room, dark room, hobby room, non-functioning fireplace, laundry with utility sink, and 1/2 bath. The convenient circular drive leads to the 2 1/2 car garage with attached car port. Walk up to the space above the garage that's floored and ready for whatever. Relax morning and evening on the inviting wrap around porch. This home is ideally located close to the historical Ellwood House, downtown dining, shopping, and entertainment.
