HIGHEST & BEST CALLED FOR BY SUNDAY 10/31 3PM. Simple Victorian Elegance in this remodeled 1901 Home from Days gone by. Walk up to the Enormous Front porch & notice the Floral Millwork & Dental molding trim at the Top of the Turret. The windows still have some of the classic Gothic Sash window trim. Features are refinished Pine floors; fresh neutral paint throughout; NEW 42" RED BARREL OAK KITCHEN CABINETS WITH GRANITE COUNTERS - STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES: VINYL FLOORING. The Kitchen has expansive storage & is in keeping with the age & elegance of the home. Classic French doors separate the Formal Dining from the Living room with a romantic (decorative only) candle-lit Fireplace & Octagonal Nook. Dining Room with a crystal Modern but "Old Style" Chandelier. The Floors are Original Victorian Baltic pine - refinished to a gleaming surface. The Staircase is original & Exudes the romance of the times. At the top of the Stairs is the 3 Bedrooms Plus Bath that was remodeled in 2012. The Primary bedroom features the same Octagonal Nook as the Living Room PLUS a walk-in Closet. 2 Secondary bedrooms are spacious & throughout the house are faux wood blinds(except for Bedroom 2/3). The Basement is dry & serves as great storage. Includes the Laundry area with newer Washer & Dryer. Back yard was fully fenced about 5 years ago. Unpaved Parking in the back off the alley is available for at least 2 cars. Owners also installed a flagstone patio to enjoy those beautiful evenings with perhaps a firepit. Shed is great for storage. All new lights in the main rooms. ** Please note: This home was built in 1901 with Plaster walls. Plaster walls are rarely even. Cracks were patched with plaster & hence again - not even. It lends to the charm of the home. All the perfect imperfections are what make this such a treasure & historic treat. Also no ghosts have been noted in this home. ;)
