3711 Tacoma Avenue

$250,000 3711 Tacoma Ave. Well preserved with only minor restoration needed for this 96 year old home. Owner believes all of the wood trim is the original finish. Huge baseboards, door & window trim. True hardwood flooring in good shape. Original rolled glass. Those cute side windows on each side of the fireplace remind you, your home is a place of yesteryear. In its history it's had the fuse box replaced with a breaker box and new wiring. The kitchen one piece porcelain sink is huge with drain-tops on each side. The built-in China hutch and ironing board cabinet are eye-catchers. For you younger people who may not know better, that covered chimney in the kitchen is where dinners were cooked on a woodstove. So when your in your new home making changes you might consider exposing that brick. Not only does the washer and dryer remain, but they've also been moved upstairs from the cellar type basement. Master bedroom is so much better now that double doors have been added. The bathroom is age friendly with a pretty nice step-in shower setup. The little cubby hole hallway linen closet, reminds you of a big dumb-waiter, inside it is the attic access. It to is all original finish. That cozy, covered front porch has got enough room for a sectional. Red Bank now allows chickens and this has the backyard fencing you might want. No matter whatever you want to corral in there, it's ready. Keep watch of whatever it is from the rear deck. At the end of the singlewide, paved drive is a carport. It seems to be from back in the day when all things were built for longevity. Brand new electric water heater. Gas heat and a gas line at the fireplace. The triple front windows match the triple windows in the dining room. The skeleton key front door is something else that catches my attention. If this was my house I would certainly restore that front arch-wire fencing w/ball knob post. It would make a great nostalgic accent. Sturdy hardwood, lapboard, undamaged siding needs painted.
