This Colonial style home embraces the history of the Rose City with many upgrades over the years including Marvin windows, Armstrong kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, SS appliances, central AC, a whirlpool, updated plumbing and electrical for the comfort and ease of today's family. As you walk in the front door you'll notice the charm and craftsmanship of the 19th century throughout this 2,981 sq. ft home. The gleaming original wide pine flooring, the original marble fireplaces, the period chandeliers hanging by the beautiful medallions of yesterday, the exposed beams, etc. Hence the 2012 Preservation Award plaque hanging by the front door. Professionally landscaped grounds with evergreens along the driveway and mature trees on the other side, along with a fenced in yard add to the charm and privacy of this meticulously kept home. A one time 2 car garage, which could easily be converted back, also add to the convenience of the property. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping, schools, churches, Slater Museum and the Backus Hospital. Around the corner is Chelsea Parade, a triangular little public park featuring annual family functions and entertainment. A short distance to the highway for those of us that still commute make this home the perfect place to create your family memories for centuries to come. Although this home is listed as a 4 bedroom, it could easily be a 6 bedroom for that family that needs the extra space. By appointment only please.
