This lovely home, built in 1917, abounds with architectural
detail both inside and out.
Some of the features and work that needs to be done are:
- Spacious formal rooms including living room with an
elegant fireplace, seperate dining room and a library
that leads into the garden. We will need
to put a new roof on the library and check the fireplace.
All the carpets need to be removed and the wall paper has
smoke in them so they need replacing. The floor were all
stained from dog urine and needed to be completey
replaced.
- A kitchen with lots of storage and pantry plus a full
bath with jacuzzi tub complete the main floor. Kitchen shape needs a complete make over. Its
going to have to wait until we have the time and money.
The Jacuzzi tub/bathroom doesnt fit in well in the flow
of the house.
- Upstairs includes includes a large master bedroom with a
deck overlooking the garden. The deck is
going to need to be replaced when the roof gets done.
Hardwood floor 50% damaged.
- Two additional bedrooms, a 1/2 bath and a laundry room. Demo the storage cabinets in the laundry room
and the kitchen counter in the front bedroom. All carpets
and wall paper to be removed. Floors to be removed in all
but the laundry room.
- Attached garage and basement. The garage
is going to need a new roof. Replace any water damage.
Basement needs something to guard against flooding. New
furnance, new water heater, asbestos abatement, and
replaced ducting.
- Wonderful garden with fish pond. Its more
fish pond then a garden. Grenaids go here then redo
everything in the spring.
- Offered at $419,000. Purchased for
$414,000. Credits for some of the work.
Other problems:
- Drains are not working well on the roof.
Fix and channel the water away from the house.
- Floors to be repalced, sanded and
varnished.
- Need to address the flow issue and move
the 1/2 bath.
