1910 Charm | $150K Designer Kitchen | $100K Saltwater Pool | Oversized Heated 3-Car Garage | Nearly Half-Acre | Heart of STMA

They didn't renovate this home to sell it. They renovated it to stay.

Originally built in 1910 with strong Craftsman influences, this nearly half-acre property blends historic character with a level of investment and transformation rarely found in today's market.

Purchased in 2019 as a forever home, every improvement was intentional, focused on longevity, functionality, and elevated everyday living rather than resale. Then life changed, creating an opportunity that rarely comes along.

At the heart of the home is a nearly $150,000 custom kitchen featuring coffered ceilings, premium soft-close cabinetry, bubbled glass accents, stone countertops with matching backsplash, a large center island, farmhouse sink, professional-grade gas range, stainless steel appliances, new knock-down ceilings with canned lighting and hand-scraped engineered hardwood flooring.

Then the exterior transformation began.

What was once a simple backyard became a private retreat featuring a new 30' x 15' gas-heated saltwater sports pool with waterslide, automatic power cover, custom concrete surround, and six-foot privacy fencing. An expansive maintenance-free HDPE deck, constructed over more than a month of professional craftsmanship, creates the perfect space for entertaining and everyday enjoyment.

Equally impressive is the brand-new 32' x 24' insulated three-car garage, complete with a high-BTU Hot Dawg heater, high ceilings, and approximately 9-foot doors designed to accommodate boats, campers, and contractor vehicles. A new custom concrete driveway further enhances parking, storage, and functionality at a level rarely found in an in-town property.

The home offers four bedrooms, including an upper-level owner's suite with private bath, plus a main-level bedroom ideal for guests, a home office, or multi-generational living.

What makes this property truly special is the amount of investment already completed. The kitchen, garage, pool, deck, flooring, and concrete improvements have already been executed, removing the time, expense, and uncertainty of doing it yourself.

Additional updates will continue through July 25, providing the next owner the opportunity to move in immediately while still adding their own finishing touches through paint and window treatments of their choosing.

The tree line was professionally maintained in June, and the grounds continue to be meticulously cared for throughout the sale.

Offering immediate possession, this home is priced to reflect exceptional value for the level of improvements, craftsmanship, and lifestyle already in place.

Some homes ask you to imagine what they could become.

This one delivers the reality and leaves just enough room to make it your own.
