VINTAGE CHARM WITH MODERN UPDATES! This delightful home blends timeless Craftsman character with numerous updates, while still offering opportunities to add your own personal touches. The custom entry stairs welcome you into a living room that truly makes a statement, featuring a built-in wood-burning fireplace, Craftsman-style bookshelves, and an incredible ceiling that adds architectural character and visual appeal. Just off the living room, a versatile flex room provides the perfect space for a home office, reading room, or relaxing sunroom. The kitchen beautifully combines original vintage cabinetry with newer cabinets, creating additional storage and more functional workspace. New stainless-steel appliances add a modern touch, while a bank of windows at the opposite end of the kitchen creates a bright and inviting spot for a dining table and chairs. The opposite side of the home includes a comfortable bedroom, full bathroom, and a separate room currently housing the washer and dryer. This additional space could also make an excellent walk-in closet, hobby room, or storage area. The bathroom retains even more vintage character with an entire wall of original storage cabinets. Outside, you'll find a single detached garage, a small cement patio, and a unique timber patio that adds an interesting outdoor gathering space. Numerous major, high-cost improvements have been completed within the past two years, making this vintage charmer an exciting opportunity for someone who appreciates character and wants the freedom to finish select spaces in their own style. Come see the character, updates, and possibilities this special home has to offer!
