Warm and cozy describe this wonderful two and a half story six bedroom, two bath home featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors, original elegant woodwork and solid wood doors. There is a spacious enclosed front porch perfect for sitting back and relaxing, which leads to the front entryway with hall and grand staircase showcasing wood balusters and railing. The charm continues with an inviting living room with decorative original leaded glass bay window and gas fireplace, a large elegant formal dining room with surrounding original wood display shelving and a second large leaded glass window, a bright and cheery kitchen with tile counter tops and center island for casual eat in dining, extra counter and cabinet space. A convenient half bath rounds out the first floor. The second floor has four bedrooms; the master bedroom is very large with more then enough room for a king sided bed, plenty of closet space and a small sitting nook, another is a perfect “kids” room and the other two are currently used as offices but would make perfect additional bedrooms. A full bath with ceramic tile is centrally located on the second floor. A staircase leads to the third floor with two separate large bedrooms perfect for the large family, home office, playroom, game room or whatever you can dream up! The basement is partially finished with a free standing wood burning stove perfect for additional living space, entertaining or a place to relax. There is a walk out door from the basement to the large backyard with corner patio providing a “peek a boo” view of the Portage Canal. Across the street there is a two car garage on a decent sized lot. Additionally, there has been some improvements with a few energy efficient windows installed and a newer high efficiency furnace to help cut down on heating costs. Old fashioned charm is the best way to describe this centennial home in east Houghton!
