Listing Description

Here is a rare find in an early 1900's 1.5 story home that has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, it's been totally gutted, remodeled, with a brand-new basement. Don't let the 5 bedrooms scare you away because it's an older home. They made the most out of all the space that this model could provide.

It flows very well as you tour or do your everyday living. Through the front door you are welcomed with a nice sized living room and views of the long island eat in kitchen. Appliances were all new with the remodel and the house was put on the market for the first sale after the remodel in January of 2024.

So, there shouldn't be any worries with them for a while. The first bedroom is on the main floor. While some buyers may make that a common room. Most would end up making it the primary bedroom. Upstairs you get bedrooms two & three plus the half bath.

Let's not forget some unique storage places to get the most of that floor-level space. Downstairs you get bedrooms four and five. Both rooms are nice sized and could make a second living room or whatever your needs may be. The third bathroom is a shower only and is in the basement as well.

The sellers have also decided to leave the washer and dryer in the laundry area. They bought them after they purchased the house so just over two years old, they should have plenty of running time as well. Outside the home wins your heart with its charm.

Corner lot, road on two sides, alley on a third side, detached garage with newer garage door, & a nice sized patio just out the kitchen sliding door. Just one block off the main road in Trenton makes this one an easy spot to come and go. Short distance to the post office, a gym, numerous restaurants, bars, banks, and more. The Grade school is just a couple blocks away, as well. Come have a tour of a house that blends old world size with modern updates. Like the tankless water heater or basement with current era stairs.
