Discover the appeal of historic downtown living in this remarkable approximately 5,000-square-foot home on highly desirable N. Elm Street. Just moments from churches, shopping, downtown dining, and the hospital, this residence combines classic charm with exceptional convenience. Rich in character yet thoughtfully updated, the home offers expansive living spaces and a versatile layout suited for both everyday comfort and gracious entertaining. Notable recent improvements include a new roof (2024), fresh exterior paint (2024), and a newly built rear deck (2025). Plumbing and electrical updates completed in 1998 provide additional peace of mind. Inside, beautiful original wood floors grace most of the home, with vinyl flooring in two upstairs bathrooms. Multiple fireplaces on the main level create warm, welcoming gathering spaces, while solid wood wainscoting in the dining room reflects the craftsmanship and timeless elegance found throughout. The kitchen is designed for those who love to cook and host, featuring a six-burner stove with downdraft ventilation and double ovens—ideal for preparing meals large and small. The first-floor primary suite offers comfort and privacy with its own en-suite bath and walk-in shower. A second full bath on the main level showcases a charming clawfoot tub. Upstairs, accessed by a wide staircase, are six additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including one with a double vanity and shower. A rear addition completed around 1998 expands the living area even further. The home is serviced by two gas furnaces upstairs and two gas packs downstairs, along with recently replaced downstairs ductwork. The crawlspace is equipped with a moisture barrier, and the property includes a 10-year termite bond with ongoing quarterly pest treatments. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive, featuring a wraparound front porch wired for ceiling fans, a newly constructed rear deck with hot tub access, and a spacious patio centered around a cozy fire pit. The generous backyard also includes a large storage building, adding practicality to the property’s many features.
Offering substantial space, historic character, modern updates, and a premier location, this exceptional home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy downtown living at its finest.
