Overview

Some homes are built. Others are crafted. Welcome to what I lovingly call **The Hosta House**, a home where mature gardens, timeless craftsmanship, and nearly a century of character come together. From the moment you step into the welcoming vestibule, you'll be greeted by the warmth that only a home from this era can offer. The solid hardwood door, rich woodwork, and quality craftsmanship set the tone for everything that follows. Inside, the parlor flows effortlessly into a charming living room, creating flexible living space that's perfect for gathering with family, curling up with a good book, or simply enjoying the glow of the electric fireplace. The north-facing bay window has long been a favorite spot for thriving houseplants, offering soft, consistent natural light, your own little indoor greenhouse nook. The formal dining room is ready for holidays, dinner parties, and everyday meals that deserve a little extra charm. In the kitchen, all appliances are included, along with thoughtfully added storage racks that make the most of the space. Upstairs, the beautifully crafted hardwood staircase serves as a reminder of the home's enduring quality as it leads you to three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. Need even more room? The attic offers extra space accessed by pull-down stairs, a fun reminder of how homes have evolved through the decades, with endless possibilities for storage, hobbies, or creative use. The finished lower level expands your living options with a large recreation room, a full bathroom, and a versatile flex room that's ideal for a home office, craft room, workout space, or whatever suits your lifestyle. Outside, the fenced backyard provides room to relax, garden, or let pets play, while the detached two-car garage offers additional convenience. Surrounded by lush, established hostas and mature landscaping, this property has earned its affectionate nickname and once you see it, you'll understand why. If you've been searching for a home with authentic character, solid craftsmanship, and the kind of charm that simply can't be replicated, this classic is ready for its next chapter.
