Absolutely incredible home for the money! This beautiful brick home is solid as a rock from top to bottom, has been lovingly cared for and is just steps from the entire Lord's Park Complex and all it has to offer! Hardwood floors in LR/DR and all bedrooms. Brick fireplace in the living room! There's an attic space in this home that's already been designed to accommodate 2 additional rooms and 2 full baths. The contractor with whom the owners designed the project is happy to assist/discuss with new owners. Three season room with windows/screens and treatments overlooks the well manicured yard. The all brick two-car garage has side stairs to an unfinished 2nd level. There's also an oversized wooden shed so there's all the room any owner will want for lawn equipment, storage etc. Finished basement with shuffleboard court built right into the floor and built-in bar to sit and enjoy the fun. All this and so much more sitting on 1/3 of an acre. Come see it today!
