About this home

Lots of square feet for the money! With a little sweat equity, you can transform this solid 3 bedroom, 2 bath into a charming home. Classic characteristics of the era remain like the original wood trim, steam heat radiators and spacious rooms with big windows. The main floor consists of a large living room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, bath/laundry room and an enclosed porch with sliders to back yard. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms and a claw foot tub in the full bath. Just outside the back door is the oversized 2-stall detached garage. A large corner lot in an established, peaceful neighborhood only adds to its potential. Property being sold in "As Is" condition.
