This home offers a finished living space on every level. It is larger than it looks. Living room open to dining area. Third floor room does not have a closet.

Great curb appeal in this vintage style home. Some updates to the kitchens and baths. There is a large addition off the kitchen. Basement is unfinished but has potential.
