Rarely do you find a home that so creatively ties together history, character and elegance, with the charm of modern updates! This 5 Bedroom, 2 Bath home reflects the love and care the current owners have for this one-of-a-kind property! From the moment you arrive and step into the grand foyer, you'll appreciate the well preserved craftsmanship of original maple hardwood floors, built-in kitchen cabinetry, dining room hutch and bookcases, and original hand-carved banister railing, doors and woodwork! Having purchased this property in 2018, the owners have made numerous updates to both the interior and exterior of the home and garage; including, but not limited to: Replacement of shingles to the house and garage; exterior and interior texturing of all walls & ceilings; painting of all bedrooms, living room & bathrooms; sanding & refinishing of hardwood floors; installation of new central air conditioning, new plumbing in basement, and installation of forced air booster fan. Sellers also remodeled the kitchen - adding New countertops, backsplash, lights, appliances, and new cabinet by stove. A one-of-a-kind feature is the creative mastery of local artist, Kerry Kolke-Bonk, who "piece-by-piece" designed and in-laid the wallpaper from historic magazines catalogs! Truly a Mastery of Art! Sellers have also added new washer & dryer; had all new windows installed on the house; had the basement sealed; new lights on the house and garage; installed a new garage door, replaced the screen on the three-season porch; and poured Class 5 cement on the new driveway! A full list of repairs, replacements & improvements are available with Seller Disclosures. Beautifully preserved, this special move-in ready home tells its own story of memories. Now it's your turn to write your chapter of memories in this storybook called "HOME."
