Rare opportunity describes this beautiful 3 bedroom, 1 bath turn-of-the-20th-century vintage home that offers all of the character and charm of yesteryear, but with many updates that have made this home a true standout, particularly at this price! At first glance, the exterior façade features a contemporary design twist with siding painted in black with white trim that, at once, effectively highlights the home’s historic architectural details yet gives the home’s aesthetic a fresh interpretation and visually anchors the home on its perch atop a slightly elevated corner lot on this lovely tree-lined street. The expansive front porch is an outdoor entertaining space all its own. Updates include recently refinished hardwood floors; remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances, classic shaker-style kitchen cabinetry, as well as neutral tile and countertops; bath remodel with oversized vanity and oversized subway tile done in a vertical orientation, which is a sophisticated look one might see in a luxury hotel suite, but quite a pleasant surprise to see in a home for sale at this price; fresh paint throughout; new sod on the lawn; new light fixtures; and more. Also rare is the attached one-car garage with direct access to the kitchen from the garage. An attic that features bead board walls and ceilings that stay true to the history of the home and that has tall ceilings, a built-in desk, a dormer alcove with two windows and plenty of storage.
