Property description
Circa 1925, this charming 3-4 bedroom, 1.5 home has been lovingly updated but still has lots of character. The front porch is lovely to sit on and sip your coffee in the morning and/or enjoy the evening breeze with a cold drink. Enter through the leaded glass front door to the newly painted and carpeted living room. A colorful stain glass window detail each side of the pretty artificial fireplace and there is a built in book case as well. The spacious dining room has hardwood flooring and a built in unit currently used as a cool coffee bar. The cheery kitchen has loads of cabinets, newer appliances and tile flooring. One of the bonuses to this home is the large office which would also make a game room or family room. There is also a half bath here. Sliders open to the large deck and a very nice fenced in yard. Upstairs are three good sized bedrooms and an extra "room" which is currently being used a large walk in closet. The full bathroom on this floor has been updated to accommodate a walk-in shower. The 3rd floor offers another room which could easily make a 4th bedroom, study or yoga room. You decide! The basement has plenty of room to do the laundry and offers lots of storage. There is also a one car garage and two parking spaces out back. Call now and this home will surely not last!
