The owner of this property, which is adjacent to the college campus, has restored the house with great care, turning it from an apartment into their family home. The formal dining room with gorgeous hardwood flooring and a lovely buffet is located on the main level, along with the double living room that is next to the “smoking” room/den. With a custom-made refrigerator and a stove that evokes the style of bygone eras, the kitchen has been remodeled to reflect its original design. The pantry is floor to ceiling and located next to the kitchen. Off the hallway that leads back to the front door is a partial bathroom.
The house has a double entry door at the front with a small lobby, however once inside, the reconstructed staircase to the upper has been recreated exactly as it was. When one first gets upstairs, they will see the large hallway that leads to the front bedrooms that are adjacent to each other. These bedrooms have access to a bathroom that has a claw tub and a shower, and the hallway also leads to the area where the stacked washer and dryer are located. In addition to providing storage, the attic houses one of the central air conditioning/heating units. The attached, spacious, two-car garage located at the rear of the 74.87X132 lot is the unexpected feature of this house.
