Are you a history buff? This home was originally a sweet cottage built circa 1896! Sometime in the 1920s the home was lifted, and the foundation and basement were installed. In the 1930’s indoor plumbing, central heating and electricity were added. In the 50’s a partition wall was removed between the ‘front room’ and the ‘middle room’ making for a large open living room. In 1976 (which is the year the current owners purchased) the enclosed back porch, wood stove fireplace, bookshelf lighting and upper-level bathroom were all added. More modern updates include newer extra large 2 car garage, durable storm windows, architectural shingles, mini-split heat pumps for air conditioning, a high efficiency combination water heater/boiler & USI fiber optic. A “Little Library” and stone bench greets neighbors as they walk by the front pollinator gardens. In addition to the living room, there is also a formal dining room as well as a den/office space that could be converted into a main floor bedroom. Note the picture rail and the built-in bookcases! The kitchen has a center island and plenty of cabinets and countertops! Upstairs you will find the three bedrooms (all with great headroom) a versatile loft space and the half bathroom with vintage 1970s wallpaper! The 3-season porch overlooking the back gardens is a fantastic place to gather and relax. The windows can be removed to function as a screen porch. Perennials and raised beds dot the backyard – which happens to be deeper than typical. With so much potential, this home is ready for its next generations to shelter, watch grow and create memories! Professional photos coming August 15th.
