737 Walnut, Dayton, IN 47941
Historic brick federal home in Dayton turns back time! Combine the old world character with most of the major updates already complete, and you have the best of both worlds. Many original features – gorgeous Hardwood floors, beautiful stained glass entry windows, lots of built-ins, and vintage pull doorbell that are sure to make you reminisce. A fine example of the owner’s dilligence to maintain the character of this home can be found in the storm windows which he hand-made himself! Follow the original curved staircase up to find 3 spacious bedrooms with gorgeous hardwood floors, a loft area overlooking the staircase, and a full bath. Don’t forget to peek thru the door in the bath where you will be delighted to find a hidden room that could easily be converted to a walk-in closet or used to expand the already spacious bathroom. From the hallway, another door will lead you up to the 3rd level attic area. What a great space! The owners took great care to remodel with future upgrades in mind. The new roof was installed with a ridge vent so that the attic could very easily be converted to usable living space. In addition, the attic floor has new insulation that makes this home very easy to cool & heat. The first level of this home features a formal living room & dining room, guest bedroom w/bath, and kitchen. The original kitchen was converted to garage, yet it would be easy to convert back & build new garage on the adjacent lot. The extra large enclosed porch on back of home is the perfect retreat – a wonderful place to enjoy the wildlife or appreciate the perennial garden. You will be pleasantly surprised how private & secluded this space feels. Although upgraded to city water/sewer, someone was definitely being clever when they left the functioning well hooked up to be used for watering the garden - without the water bill!
