A wrap-around front porch provides fantastic curb appeal and a welcoming first impression of this wonderful two-story where its big picture windows, high ceilings and large rooms create a spacious appeal. Lead-glass windows, wide wood trim and steam heat radiators create the warmth of yesteryear. The expansive living room/dining room is perfect for family gatherings and entertaining with its brick fireplace, glass paneled doors opening to the front foyer and easy kitchen access. The nicely updated, eat-in kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and counter space in addition to a wall of cabinets in the pantry area. A cozy study/den sits right off the kitchen while overlooking the back yard. Dual staircases provide easy access to the second floor. Upstairs you will find four generously-sized bedrooms, great linen storage, full bath and a long sleeping porch with many possibilities. The full basement provides tons of storage space, a rec area complete with pool table and a laundry/bath room. Efficient, zoned hot water heat new in 2010 and two central air units-one for each floor. Step out the back door to a lovely, shaded yard, 2-stall garage and storage shed. Located in a desirable neighborhood. .. quiet yet close to parks, shops and restaurants.
