The one full bathroom is on the second level. Three of the four bedrooms are good-sized. There is no obvious master bedroom since most of the bedrooms are equal in size. The kitchen, dining, and living room are separate but each room is good sized....
The layout is not open concept but it flows nicely. The exterior could use a few coats of paint. There is PVC pipes in the basement for sewage. The electrical has been updated. The heating system is not new but seems to be in good shape.
