Welcome to 404 Elm Street, a charming 1919 home that blends timeless character with modern updates. Out front, a lamp post lights the way to the welcoming entry, and the window boxes add to the curb appeal. Step into the enclosed front porch , a cozy spot for morning coffee, then head through to the bright living and dining rooms. Original details shine here, with French doors, crown molding, a classic built-in colonnade and a sunny bay window. New luxury vinyl plank flooring and fresh neutral paint run through the main living areas and bedrooms.The renovated kitchen is a showstopper. It has white shaker cabinetry , stone counters , a full-height marble-look backsplash, stainless steel appliances with a gas range , an undermount sink, recessed lighting and new tile floors. A back door leads straight out to the deck. A full bath with a tub and a decorative stained-glass window completes the first floor.Upstairs you’ll find 3 bright, freshly finished bedrooms, plus a warm knotty-pine bonus room with a cozy gas stove. It’s ideal as a den, home office or reading retreat, with a second full bath with stall shower right next to it.Outside, the oversized deck overlooks a spacious, partially fenced backyard with plenty of room to garden, play and entertain. A long private driveway offers ample parking. The partial basement includes laundry and extra storage.The location is just as appealing.
