So much to offer in this north end home! Close to shopping and dining. Hardwood floors throughout. The Kitchen is updated with ceramic tile and black newer appliances. The house has a high efficiency boiler system providing consistent baseboard heat and to help keep power bills lower. The basement has been framed out and wired for you to come in and finish an extra 1,000+ of finished sq ft. to the home. New flooring in bathroom. The backyard has plenty of fenced in space for kids or pets to play! Garage even has a half bathroom! Boiler system 6 years old. Roof is 7 years old. Please note there is no owner occupied homestead exemption on this property. This would reduce property taxes by $600+ at current property tax rate.
