Bright, open, university home with wonderful upgrades. Set back from the road, this centrally located home has it all - Schools, beaches, highways, the train, and shopping are all just minutes away. The large eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances provides plenty of space and storage for the chef of the house. Access from the kitchen to the fenced-in back yard makes grilling, playing, and relaxing easy. The dining room opens up to the spacious living room, both of which bask in abundant natural light. A full bath, master bedroom, and two additional bedrooms finish off the main floor of the home. Downstairs is a large family room, a second full bath, the laundry room, a 4th bedroom, as well as access to the two-car garage. This home has just been freshly painted (interior and exterior) and has had brand new windows installed throughout. Additional upgrades include an expanded driveway in 2016, and a new A/C and natural gas hot water heater installed in 2017.
