Property Description
When the block was just a vacant lot, the Seller’s family broke ground on this home in 1939 and it has remained in the family ever since, that is..until now. It needs upgrading & perhaps a little re-configuring to appeal to today’s homeowners. Although built in the late 30's it has a mid-century modern appeal open & linear. It needs sprucing up on the outside & remodeling but the basics are there to make this house a great home. What was once the 'library' could be transformed into a European style formal dining nook; surrounded by a bank of functional windows. The windows are original & bathe the interior with light and fresh air. Scraped ceilings, recessed lighting & brushed nickel ceiling fans are just the beginning for its modern metamorphosis. In it's heyday music filled the home from the 'music room' which could morph into a Master Suite w/en suite bathroom. This room is sunken and on slab which opens into the private backyard with brick BBQ & pond. Expand living space by building a deck & adding French doors from the living room to blur the line between inside & out. The yard is fallow and is prime for transformation into a private outdoor oasis. The bathrooms need total freshening up. The main bath is large enough to make into a spa for the two large bedrooms; while the second bath could be expanded and dedicated exclusively to a future Master suite. The roof and infrastructure has to be reworked but once done this home will resume it's role as a true original.
