312 E Myrtle St

Open House Sunday 11/12, 1-3. Lightened, brightened and staged to show its special beauty, this historic home has been elevated to fascinating by its owner. The exterior colors, xeriscaped front, custom iron entry gate, shaded walk to front porch and enticing fairytale gate to backyard are your first taste. Front door (with lovely historical knocker and knob) brings you into the entry hall with, like many of the rooms, wainscoting and original wood floors, a stained glass chandelier, and from which you can see into many of the soft-colored rooms. To the left is the dining room which she gave a fireplace with gas logs for coziness and an original ceiling border. Across the hall is guest bedroom with pocket door into the hall bath (newly and beautifully designed for aging in place including an accessible shower with built-in seat). From the entry hall you also see the painted stairway to the second floor a flexible space with zoned ac, window seat overlooking the front and window to the back with many closets and full bath, perfect for children's bedroom/playspace, a quiet getaway or workspace. Back down, across from the base of the stairs is the efficient kitchen with smooth dark countertops (room for guest seating) RICH colors everywhere, and ALL appliances including a gas range. Under the stairs is storage/pantry area. Turn right to see second bedroom which shares access to hall bath. From the end of corridor between kitchen and 2nd bedroom you enter the vestibule into inviting living area, lit by floral chandelier (don't forget to look up), with large stacked washer and dryer behind double doors. Straight ahead is the door leading to the master bedroom with cedar closet and outside access. Attached is redesigned master bath with exquisite tile, period corner cabinets, antique sink from Minneapolis (pure class!), chandelier, slipper tub and shelves and cubbies. Now return to the living area and note the French door leading to the screened back porch, the xeriscaped back yard including a Cor-Ten obelisk, rescued UNUSED headstones as footers, a storage shed with stamped tin rooflet, and a rich-colored fence. Not a boring inch!
