This beautiful home was built in 1940 and it has the quality and charm of an era gone by. The home has been updated and yet it maintains a relaxed style that you will fall in love with.
From the curb you follow the cobblestone sidewalk to the covered porch. Adding to the history of the home, these paving bricks were reclaimed from Franklin Ave. in downtown Colby. A large and inviting porch with a wooden swing make you feel at home from the moment you walk up the steps to the extra wide front door. The front yard has underground sprinklers for the well-established grass and shrubs.
As you enter the home you'll be delighted with the placement of the windows. Spacious windows in the front living area let in the morning sun. Leaded glass surrounds the fireplace along one wall and accents the opposite wall, adding symmetry to the entertaining and conversation hubs. Some of the original wood flooring is peeking out from under the neutral carpet at the entryway. It's begging you to remove the carpet and discover if the rumor is true and the floor is much more than beautiful oak flooring, it's an intricate pattern of various shades in the front room.
The home has a formal dining room with space for a big family table and boasts large windows for natural light. The kitchen has been updated with new oak cabinets and classic black appliances. There's a brand new sink and faucet too. And the kitchen has enough floor space for a breakfast table.
The bedrooms on the main floor are well arranged. The master bedroom has his and her closets. The second bedroom is currently used as a study/computer room with extra outlets on their own circuits. This home is all about the details. The bathroom was completely remodeled in 2002 and looks like it was done last week. Everything is spotless and in fantastic condition.
The basement is just down the steps from the back entryway. You'll love the red billiard room and the pool table is included in the sale! It will be so much fun to decorate these walls. There's also a family room and two more bedrooms. The bathroom in the basement was completely redone in 2005 and it looks great. The laundry area was finished this spring with bright yellow paint to make even laundry seem exciting! Plus the basement has the all-important rough storage room for all those things we just can't part with. Or maybe you could reclaim this space for an additional bedroom - it's up to you.
The furnace and air conditioning systems were installed less than 10 years ago. Plus a special Culligan air filtration system with ozone and antibacterial filter has been added. The furnace also as a built-in humidifier for a more comfortable home in the winter season.
The back and side yards are fully enclosed with wooden fencing. Just out the back door is a large concrete patio between the house and the single car garage. The insulated garage is 22' x 18' with built-in storage and workspace. If you have a dog, you'll love that Fido has his own sleeping space in the garage, which can be heated. There's also a pet door to the backyard so he can go in and out of the garage whenever he chooses. The garage access is from the alley and there's additional concrete parking along the back of the property.
The roof of the house was new in August of 2007. Many of the windows have been replaced with very high quality low-E windows. The attic of the home was reinsulated in 2002. There are so many extras and updates, I can't list them all here. Call Diana today to schedule your personal viewing of this beautiful home.
