This is an attached single family which is basically an antique home that was divided by closing hallways between sections at some point in the past. Part of it is a much more recent addition which includes the two car garage and great room and...
loft. Much of the roof appears to have been replaced in the not distant past.

This is an antique Colonial half house built in 1839. It has an addition with a two car garage and a great room with a loft. The kitchen is an older update with cherry cabinets, Formica counter tops, black appliances and tile back splash. The...
bathrooms all have older fixtures and vinyl flooring. The flooring throughout the home consists of hardwood, wide pine planks, carpet and in some spots laminate. All rooms appear to have been recently painted and surfaces are clean and crisp. The home is heated by a gas fired forced hot water boiler, hot water is from an in line tank. Both units appear to be older but in good order. The exterior of the home is in good condition but the roof appears to be on the older side. Landscaping is in need of maintenance.
