About this home
If you want a home on the edge of town with a couple of acres, look no further. This ranch style home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 half baths and main floor laundry all on 2.55 acres. Much of the home was recently painted and new carpet was installed in living room, hallway and all bedrooms. There was an addition added to the home in 2000, which added a large family room with wood burning fireplace, cathedral ceiling and large windows overlooking the wooded backyard. The family room is open to the kitchen, which makes it great for entertaining. There are many outdoor spaces to enjoy including covered patio and open brick patio. The walk-out basement offers tons of extra square footage and storage for any possible need. The location offers easy access to shopping, groceries, Amtrak station or dining.
