One owner home! Enclosed porch, nice living room (hardwood floors under the carpet), kitchen w/ lots of cupboards, stove & range hood. 2 bedrooms have nice hardwood floors; the linen cabinets are built in and there's a 3/4 bath on the main floor. Addition off of the kitchen has floor to ceiling built-in cabinets. Walkout lower level also has the addition which was used as a bedroom and again there are lots of built-in cabinets. Washer & dryer are included. Roof replaced in approx 2006. This is a lovely older home with light streaming in through the many windows. Backs to trees and the shed stays. It has been a treasured home and has been kept clean & neat. It just needs some tender loving care to bring it back to its original beauty. Sold as is.
