Firstly, before I tell you about this great home for sale, it should be noted that it is being sold in "as is" condition. It does need some significant work to the exterior and bathrooms but otherwise the home is a great shout out to the good old days of statement homes and while the heater may be older, this home is toasty warm, so it is working well. This grand old lady of yesteryear reportedly a Sears Roebuck Kit house was built in 1920 and as served her former occupants well. She is now ready for a remodel, needs some good TLC but has great bones. The home located in the quaint borough of Hulmeville sits on a spacious corner lot on a very quiet street with ample space around it. The corner lot is 12,120 square feet or just over one 1/4 acre. The house is composed of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms although the one on the main floor, will full in function is very small and would more identify as a 1/2 bath in size, it's located off of the main floor laundry room. So starting at the front entry up steps onto front porch you enter the home into the foyer and center hall. The most apparent feature upon entering is the magnificent woodwork all stained woodwork presumed to be Chestnut , doors, the frames, the baseboards and the stair bannisters, all hark back to the good old days when this fine home was in her prime. The home has beautiful hard wood floors throughout all the way to the walk up attic on the third floor, the main floor and upper floors are in remarkably good condition as they were covered by carpeting for many years. The Foyer is flanked on either side by the generous sized Living Room/Parlor on the Left and the Dining Room on the Right with the stairs to the upper level straight ahead with a hall closet next to it. The Living Room has great natural light and abundant radiators making it extremely cosy. The Dining Room adequate in size for formal dining leads to the Kitchen which was remodeled in the '90's it is thought and has plenty of updated oak cabinetry and marble counter top surrounding the sink. This Kitchen can accommodate a small table & chairs for breakfast dining. Off the Kitchen is the Main Floor Laundry and beyond that the main floor bathroom with the elements of a full bath Sink, Toilet & Shower, it is small in size. The Stairs down 4 steps leads to the side entrance out of the home to driveway and exterior, and down another 4-5 steps to the dirt floor basement with several divided up areas for storage or purpose of choice. The hot heater is newer and the heater older but both are in working order. Back inside, take the stairs in the main hall to the 2nd floor, complete with 4 generously and similarly sized bedrooms, 2 on each side of the house and the hall bath. The hall bath will be in need of a complete remodel and presently has a toilet, sink & bath. The access to the attic is a full stairs and leads to a full height wood floored attic with endless possibilities. Taking this tour of this treasure of past years outside, we find a detached garage and level lot with plenty of space and off street driveway. The exterior at the eaves does show obvious need for work to this home and as such this home is priced accordingly. Bring your imagination and sleeves rolled up and be the person(s) who brings this great home located in a lovely quiet residential neighborhood back to her former glory.
