The craftsmanship of this home is displayed in the newly refinished hardwood floors and certainly in the beautiful cornice gracing the living room. Come and admire the updated eat-in kitchen with white cupboards and the master bedroom featuring a walk-in closet. The third bedroom can double as formal dining room. Sliders to the deck. Lower level features family room with fireplace, non-conforming fourth bedroom and ¾ bath. Exterior of home will be professionally painted as soon as it quits raining. This home has been meticulously maintained for the last 36 years. Located in a stable neighborhood with great neighbors, a two block long street so no traffic makes it safe for the kiddos to play and only two blocks from the elementary school, this home is waiting for YOU!
