This Post-War Era 5BR, 2Full/2HalfBa Farmhouse has been in the same family for nearly 75 years and is now ready for new owner(s) to make it their own! While this house is in need of cosmetic updates, similar aged homes w/ updates are selling above $575k. Seller has diligently maintained the structure, elec, plumbing, utilities and WDI! There's loads of living space (over 400 sq ft of addl living space on the 3rd fl that is not accounted for in the 2825 total sq ft shown in Public Records) in addition to offering a 1st floor Primary Br and so many other extraordinary layout/design features, it's truly ready to make your own! Recent updates include: Professionally painted ceilings, walls & trim in all rooms on both the 1st & 2nd floors early April 2024; Pristine Dimensional Roof 2012; New Boiler 2003. The stately curb appeal of this 3-sty home incls evergreen hedges along sidewalk, walking path to steps at covered front door landing, mature landscaping w/ huge Japanese Maple tree & loads of perennials lining the property. Upon entry, the sizeable Living Rm greets you w/ exposed original HW fls (had been under carpets for over 50 yrs), brick-front wood burning FP w/ insert, loads of great natural light & doorways leading to the DR, Primary BR & rear Hallway. To the left are double French Doors separating the LR & DR w/ elegance. The DR is open to the huge Kitchen & features a corner curio cabinet, chair rail molding & HW fls. This Kit has so many great retro 60's-70's era custom features & fixtures such as multiple built-ins on the backsplash for paper towels & electric can opener, built-in countertop food processor sys, trash compactor and pull-out swinging pantry cabint sys! There's also loads of storage space w/ the solid cherry cabinetry w/ lighting, a large sky light, recessed lighting, SS appls & inside access to both the Bsmt & crawl space areas.
Thru the Kitchen is a hallway leading to a back entrance/mud rm area w/ a double closet & main floor laundry & a Powder Rm down the hall. Next is the cozy Den/Fam Rm featuring HW fls & custom built-ins. The Primary Br (originally a screened porch addition) offers main floor living, lighted ceiling fan, walk-in closet w/ lots of shelving & a full private Bath. Heading upstairs, note the left side wall was added post construction after removing the original banisters for privacy reasons (hence the small gap along a portion of the left side of the steps). The 2nd floor features 4 decent sized bedrooms each w/ ceiling lighting, ample closet storage, great natural light & fresh paint. The 1st Br at the right was converted to a working Kitchen for a period of time many years ago & still has capped off plumbing & fixtures behind the walls. The full Bath on this level features a jetted tub/shower combo w/ a transom window, vanity sink & tile fls. The next 2 Brs are both spacious & offer HW fls & ample closet storage. One of the rear facing Brs also features a balcony access door to the rooftop over the Den/Master Br addition as well as a staircase to the finished 3rd floor Bonus Rm & storage Rm! This great 3rd fl space could be a 6th Br/Art Rm/Play Rm/ or easy access storage! Be sure to walk around the back lot (double the size of neighboring houses) featuring a 2 car detached garage & huge rear shed. There's also a 2-tier patio, loads of mature trees/perennials & an overall great space for BBQs & entertaining! Don't miss your oppty to buy this excellent Farmhouse!
