This Founders Grove gem combines the best of historic charm and modern living! With lovely curb appeal and a welcoming front porch, you'll immediately feel at home. Inside, the open-plan main floor showcases beautiful stained wood trim, original hardwood floors, and a cozy living room. Natural light abounds in the library/sitting room adding an extra touch of warmth, while the spacious dining room, updated kitchen with a gas stove, and convenient half bath round out the main level. Upstairs, you'll find three generous bedrooms, an updated full bath, and the clean, dry basement offers plenty of storage. This 100+ year-old beauty has all the character and charm you've been looking for! Updates include house roof tear-off (2020), garage roof tear-off (2024), hearth facelift (2019), HVAC (2018), and kitchen updates (2016/2022). This is a must see home!
