Step into a piece of Farmington's rich history with this beautifully restored 1915 Victorian gem at 317 8th Street. Nestled on a generous 0.63-acre lot, this home seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern comforts.
From the moment you approach, the inviting wraparound porch sets the tone for the charm that awaits inside. Original hardwood floors, intricate crown molding, beautiful built-ins, and thick wood trim showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The grand staircase, adorned with its original wood railings, leads to four spacious bedrooms on the upper level, each echoing the home's historic character. The upper bathroom adds to the wonderful feelings of yesteryear with the checkered tiled floor, the white claw-foot tub, with the modern convenience of a walk-in shower.
The main level boasts a formal dining room and living room, perfect for entertaining. The updated kitchen features new alder cabinets, along with a wonderful butlers pantry. The kitchen seamlessly flows into a bright, expansive 20x20 family room addition. Here, large windows flood the space with natural light, and a cozy gas fireplace adds warmth and ambiance.
Modern conveniences haven't been overlooked. A main-level primary bedroom, and full bathroom, offers ease of living, complemented by a newly added laundry hookup for a stackable washer and dryer.
Step outside to discover a backyard oasis, with over a half-acre to yourself. Mature trees provide shade and privacy, while a fire pit area invites gatherings under the stars. A handy storage shed adds practicality to this picturesque setting.
Located in a neighborhood steeped in history, this home is more than just a residence—it's a testament to Farmington's enduring charm. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of the past, thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle.
