The very dry basement is full of space for storage and has a laundry hookup (washer & dryer included), gas heater, gas water heater (2018), 2 electric panels (200amp. service), and a walk-up (Bilco doors) exit to the back yard. Continue through the kitchen to the den/dining room that features crown molding and a unique chandelier replica of an old gas lantern and designed to replicate "spring". The grand staircase is complete with a charming wooden bench seat and a stained glass light fixture. The second level features a renovated full hall bathroom, 3 bedrooms and a LARGE upper level laundry room or 5th bedroom. The staircase to the third level also features an adorable landing and leads to a private office and very large master/main bedroom, complete with sitting room, walk-in closet, more storage space (in the eves) and a 14,000 BTU portable A/C Unit (included). The back and side yards are surrounded by a 6' privacy fence and include a large deck built up to and around the 15'x30' above-ground pool, a shed, a 20'x30' pole barn (extra storage space and/or could fit up to 4 vehicles), 2 car Asphault driveway and a large stoned yard space. The entire house has been re-wired with all of the original knob and tube being removed, but kept some of the original light switches kept to maintain the authentic aesthetic consistent with the rest of the house. The roof, siding and capping were all replaced 4 years ago, along with the stone repointed (3/4 ribbon pointing), 6 (3/4 round) windows replaced on the third floor made from custom Spanish cedar, and almost all of the vinyl windows have been replaced in the office, foyer, & upstairs bathroom. The front of the house still features the original wood windows. New Leaf Guard gutters were added in 2018. They came with a lifetime warranty that is transferable to the new owner(s). The part of the deck closest to the house (up to the railing) has all just been replaced with brand new timber tech and is covered by a retractable awning.
