Outstanding! Massive "3736" sqft well cared for by same owner for 60 years. Wonderful condition. Newer roof, heating systems, and windows. Fireplaced dining rooms with built in hutch. Closets everywhere, some are walk-ins. Duel pantries in each unit with kitchens you will aspire to modernize. Bonus room on third floor superb for office. Hidden surprise storage areas. Walk-up attic offers expansion. Two car garage, fenced yard, fantastic neighbors. A 'stand-out' in the crowd, outstanding!!!
