About This Property

Welcome to 287 Brock Street, a gorgeous 3 bedroom century home circa 1868, ideally located in the city on a rare 50' x 300' fenced lot backing onto Buell's Creek and surrounded by beautiful gardens. This character-filled home features mostly hardwood flooring throughout (no carpet) and blends historic charm with extensive modern updates. The fully renovated kitchen (2021) was taken down to the studs and redesigned with contemporary finishes, a gas stove conversion, and new windows for abundance of natural light. Two additions completed with permits in 2021-both with full foundations-greatly enhance functionality. The former front porch is now a bright main-floor office, while the rear addition offers a mudroom/laundry area with an oversized stainless steel sink designed as a convenient dog washing station, perfectly suited for pet owners & active lifestyles plus a convenient 3-piece bathroom with shower and rear entry access. Upstairs offers three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath. The inviting living room is anchored by a beautifully updated gas fireplace with a new mantle (2021) adding warmth and character and has 2 large windows for plenty of morning sun and open to a large dining room. Additional upgrades include furnace & HVAC (2018), electrical panel and kitchen subpanel (2021), vinyl plank flooring in the basement (2023), and a rental water tank for convenience. Outbuildings & outdoor features truly set this property apart. Enjoy a new walkway with concrete steps & railings (2022) boost curb appeal, a new expaned deck (2022), and large garden shed. The property also includes a single-car garage (new insulated door in 2022) and an incredible ~1,000 SF heated studio with power and water (behind garage space) - ideal for workshop, artists, hobbyists, or a private retreat.
