Additionally, the breakfast room floor was leveled and a radiator installed; bead board was installed in the kitchen, breakfast room and half bath, and windows were repaired. The sun porch addition (2016) is a work of art and was done at the same time the backyard was professionally landscaped and beautiful gardens were created, including a cascading waterfall, stone steps and paths, as well as landscape lighting. Additionally, all of the fencing was replaced with a wrought iron fence out front and a vinyl privacy fence along the side and rear. With $175,000 spent on the sun porch and outdoor renovations, this home is a tranquil getaway ideal for relaxing in any weather. Just a few blocks from downtown, it is close to restaurants, shopping, and major roadways. This home has to be seen in person to truly appreciate the level of craftsmanship. **Pre-inspection has been completed and will be provided to interested buyers upon request**
