Property Description

This sweet SEARS CATALOG Craftsman home radiates charm, character, and curb appeal from the moment you arrive. Thoughtfully preserved historic details—original woodwork, wide trim, solid doors, large windows, built-in bookcases, window-seat storage, and a gorgeous period breakfront—create an unmistakably warm, storybook feel. Even the original mail slot in the front door remains, a delightful nod to the home's heritage. Inside, nearly 2,300 sq. ft. of finished living space offers comfort, flexibility, and room to grow with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The open living/dining layout is anchored by a striking Craftsman architectural divider featuring built-ins and lines that guide your eye toward the spacious dining room. Here, wood beams, a window bench, and the original breakfront make the space perfect for everyday meals or hosting friends.
The living room's converted electric fireplace adds cozy ambiance, and the practical flooring throughout the main level makes the home both beautiful and easy to maintain. The updated kitchen is a standout—shaker-style cabinetry, solid-surface counters, stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry, and main-floor laundry create a highly functional workspace. Every detail feels intentional, blending modern convenience with the home's timeless character. Two generous main-floor bedrooms offer comfortable living arrangements—one with brand-new carpet (2026) and the other with seamless flooring that flows from the main living areas. The remodeled full bath features a tub/shower combo, comfort-height vanity, and elevated commode. Upstairs, a spacious private suite spans the entire level, complete with a full bath, tub/shower combo, a huge walk-in closet, and additional storage nooks—ideal for a quiet retreat, guest suite, or flex space. Outside, the fully fenced backyard provides room to play, garden, or relax. Alley access offers private off-street parking in addition to the 1-car detached garage (with 60-amp service). A large concrete patio sits just off the back of the home—perfect for summer evenings, grilling, or gathering with friends. The dry, unfinished basement adds abundant storage options. Major updates for peace of mind: Roof, HVAC, water heater, wiring, windows, gutters, insulation, appliances, bathroom remodels (all 2019) • Fence 2020 • Added counters/cabinets 2022 • New carpet 2026.
