It's not very often that we have the privilege to market a home this special. From the moment you walk into the spacious foyer, this home is an absolute delight! A few of the highlights are, beautifully maintained 1920's woodwork, hardwood floors throughout and a granite countered kitchen with spacious pantry. All new windows. Truly a "turn key" property. You will be amazed by the "Beacon Hill" garden patio! You won't believe your eyes @ only $449,900!
