$240,000
Step into the timeless charm of 5186 Vernon Ave, a beautifully preserved 3 story brick home built in 1906 and filled with original character. The moment you enter, the grand staircase, rich woodwork, and classic 5 panel doors set the tone for a home crafted with true historic detail. Sunlight pours through the bay windows, highlighting the original fireplace grates and mantels that anchor the living spaces with warmth and authenticity. The updated kitchen blends modern convenience with vintage appeal, featuring a decorative tin ceiling, ample cabinetry, and easy access to the back deck overlooking the fenced yard. Hardwood flooring flows throughout, and some rooms feature beamed ceilings that add architectural interest. The upper levels offer flexible living, including a third floor suite with its own kitchen—a rare feature that opens the door to guest quarters, multigenerational living, or potential income producing use (buyer to verify local requirements). Enjoy morning coffee or evening relaxation on the walk out upper level balcony, with views of the private backyard. A detached 2 car garage adds valuable convenience in the city. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a layout that blends historic craftsmanship with thoughtful updates, this home delivers a truly special living experience for anyone who appreciates character, space, and opportunity.
