WORTHWHILE PROJECT HOME ON WASHINGTON STREET
Built in 1990, this modest 2BR/1BA has been a rental under two owners ever since. The location is excellent – just one block from the lake and a pleasant 6 block stroll downtown) and Washington Street is full of interesting architecture. The house is in need of a new roof and new central heat and air system (both are original) as well as some interior renovation and exterior repairs to make it shine again. Set in the middle of a 122′ deep lot, both the front and back yards are generous in size.
Front porch measure 33′ x 8′ which really adds to the living space. The living, dining and kitchen span the width of the house under a single vault ceiling and it’s a comfortable arrangement. Bedrooms flank the bathroom tucked into a very short hallway. A utility closet adjacent to the kitchen has washer/dryer hookups and the compact kitchen layout works well. At present there is no back door leading to the yard so a kitchen remodel could include a side door that leads in that direction and both bedrooms could have doors added for outdoor access as well.
Previous tenants have parked on the street but it is a straightforward process to get a driveway cut into the front yard to provide off-street parking. Yes, it’s a project but a worthwhile one when the work is done.
