Colors are chosen to coordinate with the carbonized (a light caramel color) vertical-grain bamboo flooring & birds-eye maple finish kitchen cabinets. Very now!
A tired, old farmhouse is transformed into a vibrant, totally rehabbed home on a deep 170 foot lot. Only the existing foundation, outer walls on the 1st floor & the first floor joists were retained. The old top half-story was removed & a new story + one-half added. When completed, this home will have about 2,350 square feet on 4 levels with 9 rooms, 4 bedrooms (1 in basement), 3 full baths & 2 half-baths, with an open floor plan. The upper two floors tower over the neighboring area offering views of trees, sky, sunsets & moon. Unobstructed views forever. Lovely living room with an open floor plan to kitchen & dining has crown molding. Bamboo flooring is planned throughout, except for the basement level which is tiled. Also, the basement, dug out to achieve added height, is finished & has extra large windows to keep it cheery. The lovely deck complete with optional outdoor kitchen is underway in this photo. A fenced-in deep yard blessed by a mature Catalpa tree whose white flowers bloom in June. Also, a 2-car detached garage is included. This sweet new listing should be ready sometime in July/August. The location is terrific, just across the street from Washington Elementary School, a playground, indoor ice rinks, and a series of tennis courts. Walk to the Main Street business district and trains. Watch this space, progress is made every day!
