Renovated 1880 Dutch Colonial blends charm of yesterday with today's conveniences

Warwick - A quick drive down Maple Avenue gives you a good idea of the classic, beautiful homes built throughout Warwick. Now, an 1880 Dutch Colonial that has been renovated from top to bottom, is for sale. Lori Ellis, owner of the home and a Realtor with D.L. Hawkins & Associates, said the house has been lovingly renovated, keeping the old-world charm it was built with over a century ago. Sitting on nearly an acre of private land in the Village of Warwick, the home features original wide-plank pine floors and a warm, fieldstone fireplace in the living room. The recessed dining room overlooks the private, fenced-in backyard.  The kitchen is a dream for someone who likes to entertain. It is spacious and has new, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. There are five bedrooms, including a huge, third floor master suite, complete with a walk-in closet and its own washer and dryer. The other four bedrooms are spacious and each features a large closet, something not typical of homes this age, according to Ellis. There is a bonus room over the garage with a half bath which would be great for a studio, office or nanny’s quarters, Ellis said. Outside, there is a large back deck complete with an oversized hot tub. The rocking-chair front porch is right out of an Americana novel. For more information, contact Lori Ellis at D.L. Hawkins & Associates, 988-5222. This home is being offered for $649,900.
