This home has been completely redone while maintaining so much of the original charm. Step right into the open floor plan while still having defined spaces. Perfect front office for home-schooling days, dining room, large updated granite kitchen, and huge living space. The owner’s bedroom and the guest room on the main floor both feature a charming masonry fireplace from yesteryear. Upstairs there’s space galore! Bonus room for the kids, and two enormous bedrooms + a large bathroom. Plenty of room to add an attached or detached garage, and still have of yard to spare.

Grace@JHA-SothebysRealty.com Instagram: @HomesWithGrace “We have worked with several realtors in the past, and Grace Loveless was hands down, the most responsive, knowledgeable and professional agent we’ve ever had. Our experience with this agency was fantastic.” — Jenny Vogel
“Our family had an excellent experience dealing with Homes with Grace and the Joan Herlong team. Grace really understood what we wanted in a new home, and was patient with us when it counted. She was also quick to respond and could read us when we were unhappy with something about a prospective home. From her experienced voice and advice, to the ease of the negotiations and closing process, Grace is a winner!” — Michael Murrell

“Grace Herlong Loveless was a fantastic realtor and we cannot recommend her enough. My husband and I were first time home buyers and a little overwhelmed with the whole process. We were fortunate enough to find Grace early in the home buying process, and I cannot emphasize enough how great she was. She was just great! Highly recommended. Grace will not steer you wrong!” — Caitlin Schrettner
