About this home

This turn of the century 1.5 story home has the original woodwork and many updates throughout. The covered front porch is the perfect spot to read a book on a nice summer day. The original solid wood door invites you inside to the spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace and hardwood floors. The formal dining room that is located between the kitchen and living room offers a sliding glass door that whisks you away to the 21x18 deck overlooking the large fenced backyard. No outdated kitchen in this home! It has been completely updated and the SS appliances stay. The full bath had a complete remodel and the 1st floor bedroom/office finish off the 1st floor. Upstairs has 3 spacious bedrooms with large closets in all 3 bedrooms! The basement is a nice surprise for a home this age with a full bath and great man cave! The 2 car detached garage finishes off the amenities this home offers!
