Property Description

Timeless character meets full modern renovation in this beautifully restored 4-bedroom historic home, ideally located on Fountain Street, just blocks from the lake and downtown. The current owners thoughtfully renovated the property from top to bottom, preserving its original architectural integrity while updating major systems and finishes for today’s lifestyle. Inside, you’ll find stunning hardwood floors, detailed millwork, rich built-ins, and light-filled living spaces that showcase the home’s historic craftsmanship. The updated kitchen and baths blend seamlessly with the original charm, including a spacious upper-level full bath featuring a double shower for added convenience. Generous bedrooms, including one with an attached half bath, provide comfort and flexibility for modern living. A charming upper-level sunroom offers the perfect sitting area or reading retreat, while the bright walk-up attic provides incredible bonus space—ideal for a kids’ playroom, creative studio, sewing room, or future finished expansion. The lower level is exceptionally clean and functional, offering dedicated workspace, hobby space, storage, and room for a home gym. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive carriage house garage with finished epoxy floors and a built-in mechanic service pit, creating a quality workspace. The sellers also added a second driveway for added accessibility and flexibility. With layout potential that could allow for multiple units (buyer to verify), this property presents a unique opportunity for owner-occupants or investors alike. Historic preservation shines throughout—original character has been maintained, not replaced—offering timeless appeal, modern updates, and exceptional potential in an unbeatable location.
