Welcome to this beautifully restored 1917 Craftsman home, offering timeless character paired with thoughtful modern updates. With approximately 2,387 square feet of living space, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence sits proudly on a large 0.31-acre corner lot with a 3-car attached garage, blending classic architecture, charm, and comfort at every turn. The home's inviting covered front porch sets the stage for what awaits inside - a warm, welcoming interior filled with craftsmanship rarely seen today. Enter into the spacious living room, where ornately patterned, refinished hardwood floors flow throughout the main level. A stunning leaded glass window etched with the home's address is said to have originated from the very train car that delivered the materials used to build this home - a remarkable piece of its story preserved in time. Elegant wood columns with built-in leaded glass bookcases frame the entry to the formal dining room, complete with window seating with hidden storage and a beautiful hutch showcasing original woodwork and glass details. The updated kitchen perfectly complements the home's heritage, featuring solid wood cabinetry, new countertops, and an abundance of storage - including a full wall of cabinetry. The kitchen opens to a spacious family room anchored by a stone-front fireplace, ideal for cozy evenings or entertaining guests. Off the family room, enjoy a finished & enclosed back porch, as well as a screened outdoor porch complete with bar and mini-fridge, creating the perfect space for warm-weather relaxation. The main-level bedroom is generous in size and includes a charming window seat and a deep closet. The main floor also offers a large laundry area, bonus pantry nook, and an oversized bath featuring a double walk-in shower and updated finishes. Upstairs, two large bedrooms boast intricately patterned hardwood floors, generous closets, and additional storage spaces - including a walk-in attic cubby. The full basement is clean, updated, and efficient, with spray-foam insulation, a new HVAC system, updated electrical panel, sump pump, and dedicated storage rooms. That huge 3 car garage, it even has its own furnace! Every big item has been upgraded - including roof, siding, electrical, HVAC, insulation, and more - while maintaining the authentic Craftsman charm and attention to detail that make this home truly special. Immaculate, efficient, and full of heart, this 1917 Craftsman is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history that lives like new.
