Home Details

A new, stunning custom kitchen crowns this 1920’s Craftsman with much of its original character restored. Built-in bookcases, refinished hardwood floors, and oak pillars grace a completely renovated first floor. Dozens of updates include: New siding, gutters, soffits, and fascia, main-floor laundry and half bath, kitchen cabinets, antique kitchen sink, faucet, drainboards, quartz countertops, refinished hardwood floors (main floor), newer double-paned windows through most of home, newly installed basement bathroom, new ceilings on main floor, automatic thermostat-controlled attic fan and vent, and more. This original farmhouse was moved to Grimes - conveniently across the street from the Grimes South Sports Complex and South Prairie Elementary - in the early 2000s, and set upon a full, but yet unfinished, poured concrete foundation. The new basement's tall ceilings, two egress windows, and a full bathroom provide opportunity for even more expansion, additional bedrooms, and living space. The second story could use updates, but each bedroom has a ceiling fan and walk-in closet, and the master’s second-story sunroom makes the perfect office or library. Plus, the home’s wide front porch provides lovely sunset views, and the front and back deck offer fantastic entertainment space. Viewing note: Current owners have an indoor cat; please close exterior doors behind you. Sale is subject to finding home of choice.
