19th Century charm marries 21st Century amenities in this beautiful two story farm house perched on nearly three and a half acres beautifully landscaped The flowering trees and shrubs welcome you home to this 3 bedroom 2 bath house that has been remodeled with the original style and charm kept intact The kitchen floor is 1920 reclaimed Chicago brick Cherry cabinets and granite counter tops give the kitchen special warmth The cherry is extended to the moldings throughout the kitchen and dining room Dish-drawers (dishwasher) are disguised with matching cherry drawer fronts and the stainless microwave is mounted beneath the counter top for easy access A pantry cabinet is tucked away on the other side of the bar A pass-through buffet offers storage on one side and a china cabinet on the dining room side Even the kitchen sink offers old world charm in its copper apron design Bead board ceilings in both the kitchen and dining room add to the rustic nature of this home The connecting dining room has hearty pine flooring (found through-out the downstairs) and a full length picture window that allows the beauty of the outdoors to come inside
The living room has the same pine flooring and a fireplace with gas logs This room opens to the foyer and kitchen and is large and spacious while maintaining the warm feeling that permeates the home From the living room enter the foyer with its beautiful staircase and the front door This doorway leads out onto the large covered porch, perfect for lazy afternoons of reading or just visiting with the neighbors
The master suite is off the foyer and is spacious enough to accommodate the largest of bedroom suits The suite offers a smaller sitting room with his and her walk-in closets and leads into the master bath The master bath holds the past with the sink in an antique dresser and the claw-foot tub For the 21st century touch there is a separate shower
Moving upstairs you will find attic storage, two bedrooms and a Jack and Jill bathroom Bedroom number two is over sized and offers a smaller alcove perfect for a study or sitting area Bedroom number three is not quite as large, but with ample room and storage Ceiling fans and carpet add the modern touch to these two rooms
The four car garage outside is 30 x 50 with ample room for the workshop area In this garage there is a small kitchenette with oven and refrigerator This served the owners while the remodel was going on The walls of this garage are covered with peg-board for easy storage of tools This garage is well-constructed with steel beams and extra deep footings Garage has its own 200 amp service, plumbing and is heated and cooled The HVAC system does not allow air return from the garage area to prevent fumes from permeating the upstairs living area Above this space you will find 1200 square feet finished out for use as a recreation room and/or gym This space is well suited for use as an apartment if you have that need There is a three quarter bath, tongue and groove ceiling and flooring and the plumbing is in place for a wet bar The upstairs has 900 square feet of floored attic storage above it
The house has been completely renovated, including the plumbing, wiring and an updated breaker panel replaced the fuse box The water heater was replaced with an on demand water heater for convenience and efficiency The original structure was a log cabin and the original hand-hewn support beam is still in place under the kitchen and living room
The three and a half acres of land offers a fire pit area, trees and lots of open space There is plenty of room to add a pool and a pool house The landscaping is breath taking and shows the pride of ownership and attention to detail this home enjoys There is a brick pavers patio nestled in the flowering trees and shrubs
