Small town charm embraces this four-square Genoa home with Craftsman detail! The newly constructed front porch welcomes you with a suspended lantern light fixture and tongue & groove ceiling... a favorite gathering area! A 23'x14' warm and charming Living Room showcases an etched glass transom window, a recessed arched opening with display shelving, 9' ceilings, white crown molding, and new fresh wall color. Two built-in corner China hutches, cream crown molding, and white & green checkered valances adorn the inviting Dining Room. The farm-style kitchen presents original wood cabinetry painted a pretty gray, dark sage green subway tile backsplash, oven-range brick splash, extra cupboards with coffee bar and pantries, track lighting, and white appliances. Wait, there is more! You will also love the eating area featuring white chair railing and a view of the backyard retreat! A half bath with wainscoting and a white towel rack is conveniently located just off the kitchen. The open staircase displays an ornate newel post and white spindles, with a complementing old world, charming window. White 5-paneled original doors open into the upper bedrooms with continued hardwood flooring. The spacious 23' x 10' primary bedroom suite comes equipped with solid oak paneled closet doors, two ceiling light fans, window blinds, and sheers. A remodeled full bath boasts a comfort height rustic vanity with undermount sink, water pump style faucet, oiled bronze fixtures, black mirror with storage, and a recessed cast iron tub with shower enclosure within an arched opening. Dark sage green subway wall tile, white & black tiled flooring, and a stained-glass light fixture create a spa-like bath feel! Interior stairs lead to the 25' x 20' third level attic... "Imagine... this could be your home office, studio, craft area, or 4th bedroom!" Relax and enjoy the backyard retreat with stepping stones to the brick patio, fire pit, and newer black chain link fencing. There is a garage with alley access, too, that needs some work. The owners of this gracious home have contracted WITH STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS, TED CARLSON for a NEW CONCRETE BASEMENT WALL WITH PERMIT, STRUCTURAL ENGINEERED DRAWINGS, & A TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY to be completed mid Aug. 2025 (approximately a $40,000 improvement!), and a complete tear-off new front porch in 2024! The living and dining room had vinyl replacement windows installed in 2023. Black chain link fencing in the backyard was installed in 2022, frost-free spigot and piping were installed in 2025, and a gas dryer was installed in 2022. This is a wonderful opportunity to LOVE your new HOME and its COMMUNITY!
