1901 Center Avenue, SOLD!...2 Years of Historic Restoration!

Picture
           Unlike any other...  $239,900!

An Insider’s Message
Step inside this amazing restoration and you will be awestruck. The seller has worked over 18 months and 4000 hours in renovating this historical gem to what it is. In my 20 years in real estate and in selling nearly 50 homes in the Center Avenue Historic District, I have never seen the amount of new craftsmanship applied to restoring a home. No expense was spared, no detail too small for this husband and wife team who has “saved” 5 homes in the last 6 years. This “new old stock” home has had 4 new bathrooms and a “back to the studs” new kitchen installed. The floors have all been redone, the walls and ceiling replaced or smoothed to perfection. All the electrical (including from the pole and service) and plumbing is new. All the doors and door hardware were removed, sanded and finished and baseboards and trim moldings added and restored. Outside got plenty of attention, too! Completely new garage and concrete. The brick paved driveway was re-done. The entire house scraped and painted!  The front porch was redone, spindles, too and a side porch was completely added from old photos of what was there originally! Now, that is amazing and it is the dedication they put into the properties they “save” that makes them truly homes to admire, enjoy and love. I know that for a fact as my son bought one of the seller’s renovations 5 years ago! Come see and be awestruck!
