Not every home gets a second chapter. For approximately 60 years, this home belonged to one owner who raised a family here and filled these rooms with everyday moments, milestones, and memories. In 2020, the property changed hands and was later used as a rental. The decision was made not to continue as a landlord. Instead, choosing to give the home something different… the opportunity to be cared for again. Rather than applying quick cosmetic updates, extensive time, planning, and investment went into restoring the property with a focus on safety, function, longevity, and bringing life back into a home that had meant so much to someone for so many years. Between January 2025 and June 2026, substantial improvements were completed throughout the property. The main living areas were renovated down to the studs with updated insulation, replacement plumbing lines and drains, updated electrical throughout the main floor, and installation of a new 100-amp electrical panel. Central air was added, ductwork updated where needed, and the HVAC system was rechecked in June 2026. Replacement windows were installed, along with new vinyl siding and refreshed exterior finishes. Inside, the goal was to create a home that felt updated while still feeling warm and comfortable. The kitchen was redesigned with natural dolomite stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, ceramic subway tile backsplash, pendant lighting, and custom maple floating shelves. Main floor ceilings were raised to approximately 9 feet, creating an open and airy feel rarely found in homes of this era. Additional improvements include new drywall, updated lighting with recessed fixtures and ceiling fans, laminate flooring, custom closet details, additional built-in storage, a fully renovated bathroom with ceramic finishes, and one of the home’s standout features — a hand-laid whitewashed thin brick chimney feature wall. Outside, continued improvements included porch repairs, new posts, gutters and downspouts, concrete work including sidewalks and porch areas, exterior paint updates, railing improvements, and additional exterior enhancements. This isn’t a large home pretending to be something it’s not. It’s an efficient, thoughtfully improved home where the big-ticket work has already been completed. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, simplifying into something easier to maintain, or looking for a place that feels finished instead of overwhelming, this one deserves a look. Now it’s ready for someone new to write the next chapter.
