Having undergone extensive renovations, this home has kept all of its historical charm and architectural details while adding necessary modern amenities. This Prairie style structure is known as the J C Long house (see history in MLS attachment), was built in 1933/1934, and even features a bomb shelter, with 18-inch thick cement walls floor and ceiling, added prior to WW II. The two-story solid brick structure, with a low-sloped hip and gable roof and projecting eaves, includes its most distinguishing feature: the barrel shaped pent roof over an arched tripartite window on the second floor. An octagonal glazed bay sunroom is original to the house, as is a second-story porch. There is also an efficiency apartment in the rear. Currently used as rental income, the brick structure, also part of the home's original architectural plan, could be used as a retreat for family members or converted back into a two-car garage.There are light-filled rooms throughout, made possible by the original four-over-one, two-over-one, and ganged windows. Upon entering one of many arched doorways, the gleaming 1/4' sawn oak with mahogany inlay floors downstairs and pine upstairs are rare. Enjoy the new granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and maple cabinets in the light-filled kitchen while walking on quiet cork floors. The two full baths upstairs were remodeled in keeping with their original character, which includes the Master maintaining original (and rare for the time) dual shower heads. The original brick edge around the property and planting beds match the brick on the house. The gardens have been landscaped. A lovely patio with wrought iron elements was added to allow peaceful evenings and outdoor entertaining. There is ample storage in the bomb shelter, a basement, and outdoor shed. This warm and inviting home is ready for you to move in.
