206 N Barker Avenue

Sitting high atop the west side, this historic charmer has a view of the Franklin Street area. The impressive home was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kissner and was the site of the Merry Marthas social event of the season! Years later the many workers who had moved to the area found refuge here. Enjoy lots of green space with the large front yard, the large back yard surrounded by a privacy fence, and the 50x170 side lot ready for a garden, all creating a park-like setting, especially the patio located under the Magnolia Tree. This updated 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is warm and inviting with lots of charm. The first floor has new luxury vinyl tile throughout, plus upgraded lighting. The large living room has a gas log fireplace, and the dining room is open to the kitchen that features updated stainless-steel appliances and a new sink and has a door to the patio. A full bath with tub/shower combo and a new toilet is located on the mail level as well as a utility room with cabinets. An open staircase leads upstairs to an open space that can be a family room or play area or den, and 3 guest bedrooms, a hall full bath, and the owner's suite with a bath featuring a new floor and a new toilet. Lots of storage space with the large storage closet under the stairs, the basement, and 2.5 garage with garage door openers. A nice feature is the privacy gate that slides open for access from the Franklin Street alley to the back yard and garage. Many key updates have been made with replacement windows, a new AC plus an air purifier and a dehumidifier, and a new roof in 2016.
