Main level has bonus room, hardwood floors
Contributing writer
Keeping the original aesthetics with leaded glass windows, hardwood floors, arched walkway, yet updating essentials for today’s lifestyles, this two-story Oakwood house has a nice blend of both.
Listed for $259,900 by RE/MAX Alliance Realty, the brick home at 2520 Shafor Blvd. has about 1,450 square feet of living space plus a full, unfinished basement. The house sits on a corner lot with large side yards, a two-car garage, and within a block from the Oakwood shopping district and neighborhood park.
Formal entry opens directly into the living room with a bay bump out and decorative fireplace with fluted wood mantel surround. Near the staircase there is a built-in bookshelf. Hardwood flooring has been refinished and flows into the dining room and within a bonus room, which has floor plan versatility. The bonus room has a bay bump out window, a single door access to a covered porch and access to a half bathroom. This room could possibility be a fourth, main-level bedroom as there is a large closet or it could be a family room setting.
Arched walkway leads from the living room to the formal dining room that provides access to the kitchen.
Updated with a total remodel this year, the kitchen features ivory cabinetry and contrasting dark countertops. Mosaic glass backsplash ties the cabinetry and countertops together. Along one wall is a buffet counter with glass-door hanging cabinets above. A double sink is below a window along the cabinetry on the opposite wall. Stainless-steel appliances include a range, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator. The kitchen has ceramic-tile flooring, and there is a door that opens to a covered rear porch that has side service door entrance to the two-car, attached garage.
A stairwell off the kitchen leads to the full, finished basement , which has a painted concrete floor and high ceiling. The basement has been divided with laundry hook-ups, toilet and mechanicals in one area and open possible finishing in the other half
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The bath was completely remodeled this year with a tub/shower, ceramic-tile flooring, bureau-vanity with single sink, updated light fixtures and mirror.
The two larger bedrooms have updated ceiling paddle fans with light fixtures, single-door closets and hardwood flooring. The third bedroom is above the garage and has two dormer window nooks, two closets and knotty-pine paneled walls.
All the upstairs windows have been replaced with vinyl windows. Wood floors have been refinished and walls have been painted.
