This 1921 genuine ''Classic Colonial'' Sears Kit House is now available in the Historic Ghent Neighborhood! The home features 3 bedrooms and 1 and 1/2 baths with original hardwood floors upstairs and down. The owners for the past 26 years have taken great care to maintain the home while improving many features to keep the charm of the original home. The exterior walls of the home have been insulated for energy efficiency, as have the roof and crawlspace. The electrical system has been updated, and the windows have been replaced with lo-e double pane insulated windows with nine panes over one to mimic the original windows. The attic was converted into a convenient and cozy bonus space for crafts, playroom, media room, or even extra bedroom. New HVAC was added for the 2nd and 3rd floors in 2015. The insulated metal on roof was replaced in 2013. This property also features a workshop and gazebo in the backyard, both with new shingles in 2021. There's a large, well maintained deck on the back of the house and a front porch for visiting with neighbors walking by. Along with several Sears Kit Homes, Spencer Avenue features a tree-lined median that's a defining characteristic of the Ghent Neighborhood. This is a one-of-a-kind home ready for the next owners. Call today to see this great home and make it yours.
