In 1985, the then new owner who was a plumber by trade, renovated the house to be two separate units. All utilities were made separate. This was so he could live upstairs with his wife and rent the downstairs. Upstairs has one very large bedroom with walk-in closet, living room, dining area with off-set kitchen. Full bath and smaller closet as well. Wood floors in every room except new carpeting in master bedroom/master closet. Back door has a large deck with stairs to the driveway/parking area. Downstairs is 2 bedrooms, one large and one small/medium. Large bedroom has normal closet, small bedroom has shallow smaller closet. Large living room with a large bay window-like area looking out over the yard. Large dining/kitchen area. Pantry. Full bath. Wood floors in living room and bedrooms. Linoleum in kitchen and bathroom.

Unfinished but fully lit with work table/area and washer/dryer. Gas steam boiler for the upstairs with old-style radiators. Gas forced hot air for the downstairs.

Old detached outbuilding/shed was completely knocked down and rebuilt in 2013. It is a fully contained loft-style unit. Vaulted ceiling. French doors and deck area. Not zoned for living space so just a "studio" or home office for now. Electric heat, ceiling fan, sky lights. Plumbing has been roughed in behind the wall and under the floor for easy upgrade. Hyper-insulated and built for ultra high energy efficiency. Studio structure and Garage can have their electrical supply assigned to either unit in the house. So if a renter also rents one of them, you can throw a switch and have the electrical service on their meter too. Neighborhood Description Read what I posted about "Things I love about my home"
