Enclosed patio, covered porches are extra spaces
Contributing Writer
A covered front porch wraps around the front of this two-story, vinyl-sided house that sits on a double lot. A more casual side porch is accessible to the back yard, which has a picket fence, concrete patio and gardens.
The house has hardwood floors, natural oversized woodwork and a possible first-floor bedroom. Listed for $79,900 by Lyle Bixler Realty, the two-story at 210 S. High St. has about 1,730 square feet of living space.
The corner property has an enclosed patio, and a 34-by-30-foot, detached carriage house has two overhead doors, an oversized sliding door, loft storage and an attached lean-to.
Formal entry opens from the front porch into either the living room or formal dining room. Both formal areas have hardwood floors, oversized wood trim, wood doors with glass-pane windows, and high ceilings. The dining room has a second entrance from the more casual side porch, which also opens into the eat-in kitchen.
The kitchen has a wall of cabinetry with a double sink below a window. There are hanging cabinets with glass-pane doors. Vinyl flooring fills the kitchen and continues into a half bathroom. A semi-open staircase leads from the kitchen to the upper level, and a door under the staircase leads down into the basement, which houses the mechanical systems.
Tucked off the kitchen is a utility room with laundry hook-ups, storage or hobby space and access to the enclosed patio, which has a concrete floor. Hidden off the kitchen opposite the utility room is a possible bedroom as it has a closet and windows.
Upstairs, a long hallway leads to two bedrooms and a full bathroom. Both bedrooms have tall windows and share access to a walk-in closet. One room has carpeting while the other has a wood floor. There is a bonus room, which has a window but no closet. The room could be an office, small bedroom or storage.
The full bathroom features a tub/shower, single-sink vanity, a walk-in linen closet and vinyl flooring.
Other features include ceiling paddle fans throughout and single-pane, double-hung windows. The house is located just blocks from the downtown and is zoned as residential and business options.
