Some homes have a story. This one has several. Anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace on the main level and a rare antique Wehrle cast iron parlor stove in the lower living space, 313 North 20th Avenue is a home that rewards buyers who know what they're looking at. The main level is a well-proportioned ranch layout with two bedrooms, one full bathroom, an open kitchen with ample cabinetry, and a living and dining area centered on that stone fireplace. Natural light pours in through oversized windows on two sides, and the covered back deck opens to one of the larger private yards in the neighborhood, fully fenced, mature trees, and room to breathe. Downstairs, the finished basement is a world of its own. A third bedroom and full bathroom with walk-in shower anchor one end, while the main lower living space is built around the ornate cast iron stove set against a full brick wall, a genuine conversation piece that doubles as a heat source. Built-in shelving and cabinetry line the walls throughout. A dedicated woodshop with wall-to-wall tool storage and a root cellar round out a lower level that offers more utility than most homes twice the price. Outside, the detached two-car garage is oversized with a side entrance and sits on a generous lot with established landscaping and a covered deck off the back of the home. The interior is original and priced accordingly. For buyers who want move-in character and the bones to make it their own, this one is hard to beat in this neighborhood at this price.
