Property Description


0.15 Acres Lot
Built in 1924
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

You'll delight in the style of a bygone era found in this 100 year old Arts & Craft-style home in historic Emerson Heights. Originally built as a duplex, remodeling into a Single Family home decades ago allows the unique features to stand out - including the 14' ceiling in the GrtRm & DinRm, built-in china cabinet and bookcases, gleaming hardwood floors throughout, and cast iron claw foot tub in main floor bathroom! The exposed brick chimney is a reminder of it's original style. Yet there have been many, many updates done: cosmetic (lighting, bath & kitchen flooring, and modern color schemes); mechanical (updated electrical to 220V, newer HVAC, all appliances, water softener); and functional ("French drain" system to ensure a dry basement, newer roof & windows, reinforced subfloor under the heavy cast-iron tub). **Please see complete list in Add'l Info tab.** Enjoy sitting on your charming front porch, or relaxing in your fully-fenced rear yard. Park in your 2 car detached garage & bring your groceries into the house through the garage back service door & into the back door of the home right off the Kitchen. Ample parking for 3 guest cars around the garage as well. 1040 SqFt DRY Bsmt gives plenty of storage - plus can be finished to provide Rec or Exercise Rm or workshop. 1 yr Home Warranty provided to cover mechanicals. **Please see photos & captions for many of the other special features of this home that's mentioned on the National Register of Historic Places as a fine example of Arts & Craft architecture.**
