Property Description

Lovingly maintained and on the market for the very first time, this timeless 1962 home blends quality craftsmanship with tasteful updates and classic character. Built and occupied by the same family for two generations, every detail reflects care and pride of ownership. Though traditional in style, the home has been thoughtfully improved and remains incredibly up-to-date, featuring quality finishes and solid construction throughout. Step inside the main level to find gleaming oak hardwood floors, crown molding, a formal living room with gas fireplace, formal dining room, and a cozy family room with a second gas fireplace and charming brick accent wall (both fireplaces could be converted back to wood-burning if preferred). The kitchen retains its original cherry cabinetry—beautifully preserved—and is enhanced with marble countertops and stainless steel appliances, offering the perfect mix of heritage and modern convenience. A distinctive curved staircase leads just a few steps up to the second level, where you'll find a spacious primary suite with updated en suite bath featuring a tile shower with marble surround and a double vanity. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath with a granite countertop and marble flooring. The lower level offers a warm and inviting family or recreation room clad in original wormy chestnut paneling with engineered wood flooring. A fourth bedroom—or ideal office or reading nook—includes custom wormy chestnut built-in bookshelves. The laundry/half-bath combo features ceramic tile flooring and abundant cabinetry for storage. The crawl space has been encapsulated and houses the home’s mechanical systems, all thoughtfully maintained and easily accessible. Outdoor spaces are just as appealing. Enjoy the peaceful front porch or relax in total privacy on the spacious 537 sq. ft. rear porch. The detached 26x26 two-car garage includes overhead storage with a separate rear entrance—ideal for finishing as a guest suite or studio. There's also an attached single-car carport and two outbuildings, including one that was previously used as a woodworking shop with a woodstove still in place. Situated on a beautiful, sunlit lot with mature landscaping, this property offers plenty of usable yard space for children, pets (invisible fence already in place), gardening, or outdoor entertaining. Located in the heart of the desirable Baldwin Community just off Hwy. 221, this home offers easy year-round access—just 10 minutes to downtown West Jefferson and only 26 minutes to Boone. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home with a rich history and a bright future.
