Another great house on this sweet, wonderful and potentially historic street. This charming -- yet petite -- 2 bedroom and 1 bath bungalow cottage has newly refinished hardwood floors in the living room & formal dining room and is just waiting for someone to move in and add their personal touches. Great condo alternative with a welcoming front porch, Batchelder-style fireplace surrounded by built-in shelves, plus new flooring in the kitchen and bath. There is also newer tile counters in the freshly painted kitchen, an indoor laundry room, and the enclosed back yard will be a great place to create your summer patio!
