2100 Jefferson Avenue

      We have a lovely Victorian built in 1899 and completely renovated in 2008.  We have loved living here, our neighborhood families and the feeling of community in this neighborhood.  It truly is something special.  

 We are asking $141,000.  There are a few things that will stay here that usually don't, and a few things that we will take with us that most leave.  Feel free to call if you're interested-I hope that the pictures below give a pretty good idea.  We have lived in the house for two and a half years, and have had not a single issue.  It is a well built house.

Here is what I am planning on putting on MLS pretty soon:

Perfect home for those who want a farm in the city!  Built in 1899, this house has original narrow plank hardwood floors in most rooms, built in cabinets in the dining room, and an original fireplace.  It was completely renovated in 2008 and in addition to the beautiful historic features, also features energy efficient windows, sprayed in foam insulation, new heating, wiring, plumbing, roof, and HVAC. Unlike many older homes, this house has more storage than you’ll need-many attics and closets available.  The large rooms are airy and light, and the master suite takes up the entire top floor and is very rare to find in a historic area!  It also has a small room on the side that is perfect for a nursery/study/sewing room.  The kitchen is the jewel of this house-built in oven and stove top, granite countertops, and beautiful solid cherry cabinets.  The large corner lot has a fenced in yard with the first legal chicken permit in the city, crab apple and pear trees, and a French potager kitchen garden in the front yard that is already planted for spring and ready to enjoy!  The landscaping includes a hedge of rosemary bushes and a corner lined with lavender and blueberry bushes.  The corner lot, covered porch, and fenced in yard allow for an easy way to get to know neighbors, and it is a friendly street with many families with young children.  There is also a large shed on the corner of the property that could easily be turned into a garage, workshop, or gardening shed.  It has off street parking and lovely mature trees.   It’s a wonderful house with many features that are hard to come by!

Entry and Living room

As is typical in older homes in the south, there was originally a long, wide hall reaching from the front door to the back door.  When the house was refinished, stairs were added to the back half (and the door ahead of you in the picture is a large under-the-stairs closet) but the front half was left open and airy.  Our piano fits easily with plenty of space around it.

Here is one view of the living room-it is large and spacious and very well lit because of the windows.  These pictures were taken a year ago when we put together our adoption photo album, but there are now large built in bookshelves on both sides of the fireplace.  It's an original coal burning fireplace. 

Downstairs bedrooms

There are two bedrooms downstairs.  The first is this pink room to the left of the front door.  It is a very large room with two closets.  This is looking across from the door to the room.  To give some perspective, the bed is a full size bed.

The photo below shows the right side of the room with the two closet doors.
 And this is the left side of the room. 

The other bedroom is just past the living room the the right.  It is also a spacious room, though slightly smaller than the pink bedroom.  It has one closet and double windows.  We did stencil trees on the wall and install a clothespin clip art wall, but the clothespin line is easily taken down and we are happy to paint over the trees if you'd like.  

This is the view to the right when you walk in the door

Master Suite

The Master Suite was added when the renovations were done to the house in 2008.  It includes two walk in attics, two walk in closets, a whirlpool tub, a tiled shower, a built in desk, and a large study/nursery/sewing room.

When you walk in the door, there is a walk in closet to your right, and there is a door through it to a walk in attic.  Past the door to the closet is the built in desk.  In the second photo, you can see where the bed placement is with the study/nursery.

This is the study/nursery.  In this photo it was being used for a sewing room, but is currently a nursery.

This is the area across from the bed-as you can see, it is a large area.  The door ahead is the bathroom door.





This is the area to the right when you first enter the bathroom.  The door to the right is a walk in closet, and there is a door in the closet that leads to another attic that goes the length of the house and around the back.  To your left is the toilet, with a whirpool tub on the right and a fully tiled shower on the left.
