Description

Step back in time when craftsmanship truly mattered! This beautifully preserved American Four Square in Riverview showcases the best of historic design and timeless detail. The welcoming front sunroom offers 180-degree seasonal views - the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the home's original woodwork, wavy glass windows, and even 3 stained-glass accent window. The grand foyer opens to a formal living room and a formal dining room, complete with a coffered ceiling and a built-in china hutch that captures the home's early 20th-century character. The spacious kitchen provides plenty of room for family gatherings and features solid oak cabinetry, a built-in desk, and additional dining space. All appliances stay with the home. A remodeled half bath is conveniently located just off the kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms with brand-new carpeting and a beautifully updated full bathroom featuring new flooring, fixtures, a double vanity, cabinet, lighting, and mirror. There's even a third sink in the water closet and a new shower with modern fixtures. The primary bedroom offers direct access to this bath for added convenience. The finished third floor provides flexible space - a 4th bedroom, an office, studio, or guest retreat - while the fully finished basement adds even more living area plus another full bathroom. Outside, a detached 2+ car garage offers plenty of storage and workspace. UPDATES: 2022 furnace and AC; plumbing and electrical updated; fridge and dishwasher are a couple years old; 2018 - kitchen flooring, 1/2 bath, back door landing, foundation tuck pointing, gutters/downspouts, and exterior paint. With its rich wood details, thoughtful updates, and classic architecture, this Riverview gem perfectly blends historic charm and modern comfort. Welcome home!
