The house was built in 1929 and was acquired by the current owner in 1979. Significant improvements and remodeling projects were done starting in 1991. The overall approach of these projects was to maintain a period appropriate aesthetic while updating to modern systems and some modern materials. Meticulous attention was paid to maintain the original character of the house.    Improvement made to the home include the removal of all the lathe and plaster. The walls were insulated with new wall board installed. While the walls were open all the electrical and plumbing was updated. The original tiled fireplace with sconces and niche is beautiful. Behind the sofa is some of the leaded glass windows. The picture molding is throughout the living room and adjoining dining room which is behind in this photo.    The dining room has more leaded windows. The main floor is flooded with natural light. Notice the vintage light fixture over the table. The refinished hardwood floors are throughout the main level. You can see the inlaid trim. The modern kitchen is to the right in the photo and the living room is behind.    This is looking from the living room towards the dining room. There is ample space for other gathering areas for family or guests. The hall leading upstairs and on to the bath and bedrooms is just out of sight to the right. Common to All Projects (i.e., all downstairs rooms) Lath and plaster removed and replaced with drywall. Insulation (fiberglass) added to all exterior walls. (Note – the house originally had no insulation between the inside walls and the exterior wood/brick veneer walls.) Knob and tube electrical replaced with current (per building code) electrical.    This is another view of the gorgeous tiled fireplace looking towards the dining room. Doors, door frames, windows and window frames and other original woodwork stripped of paint, then stained and varnished    This is looking into the kitchen from the dining room. Immediately to the left is a door leading to the side yard. There are more counters and cabinets behind this photo. The gas range is commercial grade by Garland with a stainless exhaust hood above. The cabinets are custom made in a vintage style. To the left is the stainless refrigerator and access to the basement. To the left of the pantry closet is access to a hall leading to the bedrooms and bath.    This is looking toward the dining room and addition custom cabinets. The drawers glide smoothly and have glass knobs. The faucet is wall mounted over a tile backsplash. The windows allow natural light in every room. Living Room & Kitchen (1994): Two doors eliminated between hall and kitchen, and between hall and living room. Expanded entry way from kitchen to dining room from standard door entry to arch. Hooked up to natural gas line; installed restaurant-grade gas range in kitchen, and gas furnace in basement. Stripped linoleum from kitchen floor; refinished underlying fir flooring. New restaurant-grade refrigerator.    The bath has the original iron tub with newly tiled surround. The faucet is wall-mounted in a center location along with the shower. The tiled floors are in excellent condition. There's a medicine chest above the pedastal sink. Original plumbing (from 1929!) replaced – from meter to all plumbing fixtures – with copper tubing for main line and hot water in-lines and plastic pipe for some cold water in-lines.    This room has hand painted geometric design painted around perimeter. Wiring for audio was added in this room leading to the living room. The equipment can be kept here out of sight from guests in the living room.    This room has a huge walk-in closet. The hand painted geometric design goes around the perimeter of this room matches the other room. All the doors and moldings were stripped of paint, stained and varnished.    The attic space is tall and ready for your ideas. Plans at a cost of $14,000 are drawn for a master suite. The space could include a sitting area, bath with shower and sleeping area. The plumbing for sinks, shower and toilet are already in place. The hard work (and expense) is done. This is looking towards the large bed area - that's a new window. To the left out of the photo is where a spacious sitting area is planned. Behind the is where the bath is plumbed in.    This part of the back yard. You can see the top of the garage door that has paved alley access. On the other side of the driveway is another smaller yard or garden area. Down the right side of the house is the door in the kitchen.    All floors stripped of carpet – underlying hardwood floors refinished.    The basement is very large and tall. There is another area of equal size with laundry area to the right in the photo. That sewer main is new to the street. This home is fully updated with exacting attention to it's original details.
