Around the time when only 8% of households had a phone and the cost of a stamp was $0.02 this perfectly appointed two story 1916 Craftsman Bungalow style home was built on a spacious 1/2 acre lot. Featuring a new metal roof, gated parking, a private driveway and room enough for a workshop, garage, guest house or RV Garage. The formal entry opens from the L-shaped covered front porch with arched openings to the formal living room boasting glass french doors, fireplace, original built-in book case and decorative molding. The formal dining room features an original built-in china cabinet with stained glass, plenty of natural light and views of the large, charming covered porch and large front yard.
The first level has original hardwood flooring and double hung windows throughout with 2 bedrooms, one full bathroom and a full, galley kitchen with gas range, original cabinets and white and green tile. There is a one room basement and “summer kitchen” with sink.
The second level offers three bedrooms, one bathroom, a sleeping porch and a full eat-in kitchen. This space is perfect for a larger family or additional rental income. The charming front dormer bedroom with vaulted ceilings has just been painted and has original built-ins and a window seat.
