The ultra-spacious combination living room/dining room in this 1,304 square-foot home is bedecked with a chair rail that encircles the room, a delightful architectural feature synonymous with the Arts & Crafts era. An array of windows open and brighten the space. A charming mantel, likely original to the home, denotes where a (now-long-gone) fireplace once heated the home. Here too, you'll find more of the beautiful luxury flooring that ties the home's look together.







Bathrooms feature beautiful new white tile, flooring, and light fixtures. A neutral color palette throughout will lend itself to anyone's decor preferences! The bedrooms offer lush new carpeting ~ encasing your feet (and your sleep!) with a soft, quiet, and warm touch, with the ability to retain heat and lessen your energy bills!

This sweet home at 701 5th Street was earlier updated with a new roof and replacement windows prior to the current owner's purchase. The home has had licensed professionals perform all electrical and plumbing, however no permits were pulled.  The HVAC was recently serviced in 2022. The exterior is vinyl-sided and low maintenance!
