In the heart of the beautiful and dynamic Capital City, this grand old home melds the best of yester year and historic home charm while providing the best of modern-day convenience and style. From the gracious entry hall with original woodwork to gorgeous kitchen with its own cozy hearth and wood stove, this home offers easy living and all within a stone's throw of schools, Kellogg Hubbard Library, and downtown shopping and restaurants. Current owner renovated the kitchen and opened it to the dining area which leads to the private back deck. Entering the side door brings you into a spacious mudroom with laundry. The other first level rooms are the living room, an office/den, a 1/2 bath, as well as the entry hall with impressive staircase. High ceilings, original solid doors, and woodwork throughout, not to mention the gleaming hardwood flooring in every room. Upstairs are 4 more bedrooms and a very large full bathroom with iconic penny tile flooring. Also on this level is a door to a full stairwell to the 3rd floor apartment with two bedrooms and one full bath - add apartment back into main house for more living space or keep the rental unit for helpful income. Entire house has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded with added insulation, a hybrid hot water heater, newer asphalt shingle roofing, and a dramatic outdoor spiral staircase for entry to 3rd floor apartment. The old barn was moved onto a brand-new foundation and now the yard is right out the back door. The barn makes a great garage with tons of dry storage above. Sit out on the private back deck or the big covered front porch when you feel like people watching. Do you dream of being in a lovely vintage home in the thick of downtown life? This is your chance!
