BACK TO ACTIVE! Historic charm combined with modern convenience, this home offers the best of both! The front porch welcomes guests and provides the perfect space for morning coffee or afternoon sweet tea. Quaint awnings over all outdoor windows are not only picturesque, but also provide protection from overbearing sunrays. Inside, the refinished hardwood floors compliment the original wood window casings, door trims, and staircase that hearken back to days of skilled craftsmanship and gracious living. The first floor offers inviting living areas that flow easily into the newly renovated kitchen, with stainless appliances (featuring a gas stove and side-by-side refrigerator), glass cabinetry to display collectibles, as well as plenty of natural light. The hardwood floors continue on the 2nd floor into the bedrooms, all of which contain overhead fans with lighting. The main bathroom is spacious and serene, providing bathers with a peaceful retreat in the new tub with deluxe fixtures and shower head. The unfinished basement awaits your creative vision and is home for laundry and utilities. In the backyard, nestled in the corner, a shady oasis includes a cement bench and birdbath, supplying solitude and quiet sounds of nature amidst life in the suburbs. All this, plus new roof and HVAC. What more could you want? Move-in ready and looking forward to your company, 217 West 3 rd Street embraces the beauty of historic times, along with the ease of modern-day living.
