Want a little piece of "history" set on a wide tranquil lot? This 1909 Victorian home has had only 3 owners and is "pretty original" inside. The exterior now has a new roof, reparged chimneys, and the exterior has been repainted. The 1st owner built the home and lived there for about 60 years, the 2nd owner for almost 50. The current owner planned a full restoration and intended this to be his "forever home," but his career is now taking him in a different direction. The white clapboard exterior with a front wrap-around porch defines this compact two-story home that will take you back in time. One side has lush gardens, that lead to a back patio area and Koi Pond, while the driveway side is an additional lot that has a 3-car detached garage. (The combined lots are approximately 104 x 117.) There is also a garden shed set between the pond and the garage. The original portion of the home has a side entry into a wide center hallway with a turned staircase. To the left is the "formal" parlor. The kitchen has the original farm cabinets and an almost new high-end gas range. The original "back shed" has been divided to offer a main-floor laundry and powder room, and an adjacent mudroom that offers additional storage and a rear door to the yard. In the 1930s, a two-story side addition added the dining room with bay windows overlooking the side yard. Upstairs, the front bedroom is over the parlor, a hallway main bath, and a rear bedroom adjoin a third bedroom that has great light from the triple windows and is currently used as an office and sitting area. This home is being sold "as-is" but does have a current Trenton Certificate of Occupancy. This may be your opportunity to restore and personalize the interior to be your dream home. The seller will consider a contribution to closing cost with and acceptable offer and closing date.
