Property Description

Are you desiring a classic, charming and historic home in the heart of Bismarck? Upon entering, this enchanting home immediately captivates with its distinctive character and timeless charm. The original refinished wood floors, intricate wood-paneled doors, French doors, and crown molding evoke a sense of nostalgia while seamlessly blending with modern conveniences. Built in 1930 by John P. French, a pioneer Bismarck businessman, sheriff and city commissioner, this Ranch-style residence boasts the elegance of yesteryear alongside contemporary functionality. This home has had only 3 owners since it was built! Spanning 1624 sq ft on the main floor, the home features a spacious living room adorned with a wood-burning fireplace, adjacent to a dining area boasting ample built-in storage. French doors lead to a versatile den/tv room, offering flexibility as a formal dining space if desired. The kitchen showcases abundant white cabinets, a farm sink and sleek white marble countertops. The main floor primary bedroom adjoins a stunning sunroom addition, providing a serene retreat to enjoy your favorite beverage while overlooking the tranquil backyard. Another generously-sized bedroom and updated bathroom complete the main level. The lower level reveals a cozy family room, an additional spacious bedroom with an egress window, a half bath and a large storage room—which could be converted into another bedroom with the addition of an egress. A workshop area and sewing space with a sizable pantry closet (formerly a photography dark room) accompany the laundry facilities. Outside, the fenced backyard boasts exquisite landscaping and a charming paver patio. Driveway access off Avenue C leads to the double garage. Recent upgrades include a newer furnace and a 2019 replacement of the water heater. Most of the home features newer Pella windows, enhancing both aesthetics and energy efficiency. This home is zoned downtown fringe so could also make a great business site with the character it offers.
