This charming Colonial/Tudor home is now on the market, ready for its next owner. It offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, beautiful hardwood floors, and a pine-paneled den with built-in cabinets, all set on a 75 x 125-foot lot. The large, window-filled living area is accented by a vintage brick, wood-burning fireplace, while the formal dining room, easily reached from the kitchen, is perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings. The kitchen opens into a 9 x 6 sunroom overlooking a landscaped backyard with private southern exposure. Upstairs, oversized bedrooms and a full bath highlight the home’s classic 1930s design. There’s also a spacious 12 x 29 area with a 6 x 12 wing, an attic area that could be finished for extra space. The yard features a rock retaining wall, a wishing well with a water feature, and an outdoor rock fireplace, with stones collected from across the country. A Finnish type of dry sauna offers a great place to relax from a busy day! A deep, single-stall attached garage and newly fenced yard add privacy and leisure, complemented by perennials, lilacs, and hostas. Located in a quiet Ely neighborhood, this home is full of original character and close to all Ely has to offer!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
