About 302 W Wood Street

History abounds in this stunning 1896 Queen Ann Victorian all-brick home designed by Paul Moratz and constructed by William Van Schoik. A large front porch, hardwood floors, leaded glass and beveled windows, pocket doors, open front staircase, additional back staircase, special trim and tall baseboards all offer the expected charm while a modern kitchen with granite counter-tops, newer shaker style cabinets, professional Forno 8-burner range and 2 pantry cabinets all add modern convenience. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home also has a two-car attached garage, large fenced yard, multiple patios and small storage shed. The large walk-up attic has insulation under the floor boards and offers potential additional living space. It should be noted that the unusually deep windowsills are due to the triple-wythe brick walls which enhance thermal insulation helping to maintain indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs, offers better moisture management (the basement is dry!), and provides higher fire resistance. Most windows are replacement windows and house has central air and forced air heat throughout. The abstract to this house holds rich historical information and passes to the new owner. This is a gem you will want to see!
