Built circa 1925, this home is an inviting combination of the Craftsman and Cottage styles. It has been thoughtfully updated and expanded through a series of renovations by its current owners.Upon their initial purchase of the home, the owners started with the basics by refinishing the hardwood floors and painting that led to bigger things like a rear deck and replacement windows. Their first major remodel/renovation involved a two-story rear addition that enabled them to expand the kitchen and add a first floor family room with a wood burning fireplace. The project also included a new master suite along with an additional bedroom, and the installation of central air throughout. At the same time, the patio and outdoor spaces were upgraded and reconfigured with attractive landscaping. The next big project was even more involved. They chose to reorient the front entrance from the side of the house to the front and added a new front porch. As this project evolved, they ended up redesigning the first floor and expanded the front two bedrooms. Along the way, bathrooms were remodeled and new fabulous storage options inside and out were added.As a result of these thoughtful renovations, this home is more inviting and welcomes you and your guests in through a divine front porch.
