ABOUT THIS HOME
We love a vintage home that preserves the very best of the olden days with the modern upgrades we crave. This is that kind of house. Look at those floors. That classic Craftsman separating the living room and kitchen (and yet you still have an open concept feel!) Check out these improvements: -New kitchen cabinetry & granite counter tops; new Whirlpool gas range, microwave hood, refrigerator, & dishwasher. -New tiled shower with doors, toilet, vanity & mirrored medicine cabinet. -Repainted entire interior; refinished wood floors. -Installed 33'x11' concrete patio; fencing & gates. -Replaced furnace & all ductwork, air conditioner condenser and line set; Replaced water service line, meter & pit; water heater, plumbing lines & fixtures; Replaced electrical wiring, receptacles, switches, smoke detectors & fixtures. -Installed vapor barrier & high density closed cell insulation in crawl space. -Installed glass block in basement windows -Installed high grade blown-in cellulose insulation with R-value 38 in attic; added attic access ladder. And somehow, through all the thoughtful updates, the soul of the home still shines through. The warm wood floors, original architectural details, and timeless Craftsman character give this home a feeling you simply can't recreate in new construction. Modern where it matters, historic where it counts.
