Welcome to the House of Seven Gables! Located in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by birdsong, this 4 bedroom, one bath historical marvel awaits those looking for abundant space both indoors and out! Enter into a light-filled stairwell and enjoy the semi-open concept with freshly painted living and dining rooms leading to an efficiency kitchen, complete with a coffee bar and a stunning teak-topped island. Upstairs you'll find rooms filled with light, along with charming nooks tucked beneath the gables. The expansive primary bedroom features three windows and a large closet. Flooring is historic hardwood awaiting the loving touch of restorers. A convenient attic-like space at the rear of the house provides wonderful storage space for holiday decorations and other necessities of life. This space is positioned above the existing bathroom, which would make it a convenient location for a second bath for those who'd like one. A fun feature for kids and adults alike is the rear staircase leading down to the back hall. And if the inside wasn't enough, just wait until you get outside! You'll pass through a large three-season porch with plenty of room for storage, morning coffee, and lots of light for seed starting in the spring. New fencing (privacy in front, black chain link on the sides and rear) was installed in 2023. A small courtyard adjacent to the rear steps is another lovely place for coffee or an afternoon beverage, and offers a view of the rolling landscape. The rear of this L-shaped plot is massive, and offers a lush lawn area which would be a great location for a vegetable garden. On the other side lies a wildflower prairie, providing a haven for bees, butterflies, and birds. In between these spaces is a central section of pine and maple trees, filled with wild roses, wild hydrangea, honeysuckle, and other flowering bushes. Landscaping has begun in the front yard with the planting of perennials, and awaits your favorite blossoms.
