Built in 1904 but completely remodeled, 3340 W. Mount Comfort Road in Fayetteville successfully mixes historical charm with modern amenities. Listed by Clint Penzo of RE/MAX Associates for $190,000, the 1,612- square-foot home has two bedrooms, two full baths, an office and two living areas.
Open house is 2-4 p.m. today. Upon entering the home, the marriage of modern and historical is immediately evident. Original beadboard ceilings mix with the clean lines of custom solid-wood built-ins and cabinetry that were installed during a remodeling of the interior within the past four years.
One of the most impressive rooms is the kitchen, which has cork flooring, stainless steel countertops trimmed in birch, and modern cabinets with some open shelving. The stainless steel appliances include a commercial-grade, six-burner oven, a convection microwave oven, a top-quality dishwasher and a refrigerator with a bottom freezer.
Also on the main level is an office with cork flooring and a full bath with a claw-foot tub, tile flooring, a pedestal sink and a skylight.
Upstairs, the two bedrooms have walk-in closets, and the full bath has a garden tub with a tile surround and a hand-held shower faucet.
In addition to the ceilings, interior histori- cal features include original brass doorknobs and other hardware, and some antique light fixtures.
As for modern updates, the home has been replumbed, rewired and leveled with new footings and the installation of permanent leveling jacks. Central heat and air was also added, along with a new 50-gallon water heat- er that was installed just last year.
Separate from the home’s 1,612 square feet, a bonus room stretches out above the detached two-car garage. It has its own entrance and three skylights. A workshop is attached to the back of the garage, which is heated by a gas furnace.
Outdoor living spaces include a wide covered porch, a back deck and a patio made of pavers with a fire pit. The half-acre property also offers several mature shade trees.
Additional amenities include a storm shelter, hardwood flooring, adjustable interior lighting, 10-foot ceilings on the main level and ample parking space.
Private showings can be arranged by contacting Clint Penzo of RE/MAX Associates at (479) 466-6681.
From Interstate 540, take exit 65 and head west on North Porter Road, which becomes Mount Comfort Road. The house will be on the right.
