Property Description

Fully remodeled historic home, originally built in 1908 as a commercial building/dance hall on 2/3 of an acre lot. The home has a handsome brick veneer finish on the outside, and is set on a beautiful locally-quarried stone foundation. The home has a lovely outlook to the Warner mountains, bird sanctuary and farmland/open space at the edge of town, and yet is a short walk to the local park and main street attractions. Inside the home you will find terrific light to the east, south and west through the day. This home has 3 bedrooms plus a study that could be used as a 4th bedroom, 3 bathrooms with heated floors and soft-close updated toilets, 2 kitchens each with a generous pantry and updated appliances, including induction cooking, with a bonus family room attached to the back kitchen. For heating, there are options of 2 wood stoves, a kerosene monitor heater, and multiple electric heaters (baseboards and in-wall). There is an air conditioner but this is hardly needed due the home holding its cool air well during the hot days of summer. The full renovation completed in 2023 includes all new paint, all new plumbing, new wiring, all new floors throughout with wood laminate, tile and carpet, a complete new set of double-pane windows, a new front kitchen with granite countertops, and new roof. Outdoors are a 2-car lockable garage, 4 extra storage spaces, a very generous fenced back yard with apple, plum and pear trees, multiple mature shade trees, and plenty of space for the family pet or avid gardener to make her/his own. The shaded back deck is ideal for barbecuing and summer dining. A luxurious heated swim spa is optional to include at time of sale. The home can be used as a single family home, or rented as two separate units, each with their own full kitchen, living and eating space, wood stoves, and in-unit laundry. An adjoining empty building block is also available for sale at $15,000, making for 3 street frontages and no adjoining neighbors.
