Take a moment to learn about this home’s top 7 features: 

1. Updates galore. 

Built in 1947, this beloved home shows off vintage charm, yet more recent updates ensure modern convenience and efficiency. Most recently, the upstairs bathroom was fully remodeled in 2025, and exterior painting was completed in 2026. 

That’s only the beginning—this home was also thoroughly remodeled between 2011 and 2013. Significant improvements were made during this time, starting with updated electrical service with a new panel and extensive rewiring. Other major updates include a raised roofline with vaulted ceilings, a completely reframed and insulated second floor that added living space and storage, and Hardie Shake and Plank siding. Additional upgrades include a newer roof, double-pane windows, recessed lighting, bamboo flooring, crown molding, and copper plumbing throughout much of the home, including the service line from the street. Each thoughtful refresh adds lasting value and offers peace of mind! 

2. Generous space for gathering. 

Classic elegance characterizes both the inviting living room and dialed-in dining room, offering a lovely backdrop for relaxation, hosting, and all that life brings your way. The fireplace adds a traditional cozy vibe to the living room haven, while the pristine wainscoting, trimwork, and eye-catching light fixture instantly elevate any get-together in the dining room.

3. Remodeled kitchen. 

Just like the rest of this home-sweet-home, the remodeled kitchen shows off incredible attention to detail, with every feature and finish curated to perfection. Gleaming granite countertops, a neat tile backsplash, custom ceiling details, a Jenn-Air gas range with downdraft ventilation, and updated appliances all create this remodeled masterpiece. 

4. Flexibility in bedrooms & partially finished basement. 

One of this home’s top perks is the fact that it provides so much versatile square footage. A total of 4 bedrooms await transformation! The 2 upstairs bedrooms are especially expansive, and include walk-in closets and lighted storage areas. This upper level also includes the fully remodeled bathroom (2025), a contemporary beauty that shines with style. 

In the partially finished basement, a whole other world awaits, and you’ll find everything from practical functionality to just plain fun! A huge library with built-in bookcases, an epic media room, a bar area, an updated laundry area, and a custom storage/workbench space for your projects and hobbies are all in the dynamic mix.

 

5. Rare 4-car garage-shop space. 

Your opportunities expand even more out in the insulated and heated 4-car garage-shop with a carport. In addition to providing off-street parking for up to 5 vehicles, you’ll find the possibility for so much more! Set up a dedicated space for your hobbies, and create an organized storage area for adventure gear and holiday decor. Plus, there’s a door to the alley and a door to the patio. 

6. Low-maintenance outdoor enjoyment. 

From the impeccably manicured landscaping at the front of the home to the private getaway in between the home and garage-shop, this property offers low-maintenance outdoor enjoyment. Paver patios and walkways are nestled amid raised garden beds, espalier apple trees, drought-conscious landscaping, French drains, and improved drainage. 

7. Convenient Proctor-area location.
