Property Description
As soon as you arrive, you'll know you found something special. A welcoming front porch, mature trees, nearly half-acre homesite, close to Hastings favorites, and it’s filled with character. The rooms are spacious, solid wood floors run through most of the house, and the original woodwork, stained glass windows, and brass hardware only add to the charm. A main-floor bedroom with a walk-in closet sits near the full bath, so one-level living is here if you want it. Take either staircase up (yes, there are two if you’re feeling fancy) to three more surprisingly large bedrooms and closets, a 3/4 bath (a tub, but no shower), and one room that still has its own vintage kitchen from another era. Will it become your home office, art studio, or maybe a guest suite? There is also a large, easily accessible attic space over the kitchen. Back on the main floor, the kitchen and breakfast nook are a wonderful space that offers future flexibility, and there is a formal dining room and an oversized living room as well. The heavy lifting was already handled, with a newer furnace, central air, water heater, and water softener, plus fresh exterior paint and trim - updated 3 years ago. What’s left is the fun part. This beautiful home is ready for your creative ideas, and it’s priced accordingly. Out back, there’s a screened porch for summer nights, perennials including tulips, petunias, and hosta among many other plants around the home, with so much space to add whatever you’ve been picturing: more gardens, a fire pit, or room for your new puppy to run. And when you need to put your gardening tools and yard games away, you’ll enjoy the 2-stall garage. Downtown, the river, multiple parks, so many dining options, and even some great pickleball courts are all within walking distance and just a few blocks away. It’s such an amazing location! Space like this, this close to town, rarely comes available. Neither does a house with this much love. Lucky for you, this one has both. Welcome home!
