Built with the enduring strength of classic masonry, this solid two-story residence stands as a testament to craftsmanship, warmth, and decades of cherished memories. Meticulously maintained by the same family since 1942, every corner of this traditional floor plan carries a genuine sense of pride and permanence that you feel the moment you arrive. Greeting you at the front is a beautiful covered porch complete with a vintage awning, offering a cozy, shaded haven for morning coffee, evening conversations, or simply watching the neighborhood go by. Step inside to discover a layout enriched by original solid wood doors, original solid wood handrails, and matching trim, while cozy-comfortable cast iron radiators throughout the home provide reliable, long-lasting heat during the colder months. Living room and Dining room on the main level have been recently updated with a fresh coat of paint and newer carpet. The heart of the home features a spacious retro kitchen, bursting with authentic character and plenty of room to gather around the dinner table. A true showcase piece, the kitchen features authentic BeautyCraft Durable Vintage Steel cabinets, manufactured in the 1950s by Miller Metal Products of Baltimore, MD, which are highly sought after by mid-century enthusiasts and home restorers today. Complimented by a double porcelain sink with modern goose-neck faucet for modern convenience, durable Linoleum-Luan-Lauan countertops and retro durable tile-board walls. Heading upstairs, the hallway includes newer carpet and a classic cedar linen closet. The primary bath carries iconic retro charm, combining timeless design with immaculate, move-in-ready care. Mid-century designed hidden gems include a hideaway chrome toothbrush and soap dish, chrome towel and washcloth holders, a beveled glass and metal lighted medicine cabinet, a built-in linen-towel-toiletry closet, and a sturdy cast iron tub—with ample room to easily add a shower feature for modern creature comfort. A modern commode and vanity seamlessly complement the mid-century motif. Completing the upper level are 3 spacious bedrooms. Out back, a second covered rear porch provides a serene retreat overlooking a wonderfully flat, fully usable yard—a lush green canvas ideal for summer barbecues, garden beds, or lawn games under open skies. The storage and functional space throughout the property are truly exceptional. An expansive attic storage space provides easy organization for seasonal belongings or additional living space, while the vast basement adds incredible utility. Downstairs, you will find dedicated washer hookups, classic built-in canning shelves ready for home preserves or pantry overflow, extra basement storage space, and the convenient bonus of a "Miner's basement bathroom." Rounded out by remarkably reasonable taxes and forty-four years of dedicated stewardship, this is far more than just a house; it is a cozy, dependable foundation for your next chapter. Homes offering this level of structural integrity, classic heart, and practical value are increasingly rare. Schedule your tour today and don't let this one get away!
