Originally built as the Enoch L Pope House, the 11 rm light filled home offers over 3500 sq ft of living space & has had numerous updates including 2 new heating systems & new HW floors in the LR, DR, & entryway. The large updated eat-in kitchen is ideal for family get togethers & has a full bath. From the kitchen one can walk directly outside to a large back yard & patio. A beautiful & detailed staircase leads to the 2nd floor where there are 3 large BRs plus a convenient craft/laundry room adjacent to what can be used as a sitting room or office. The 3rd floor has 2 additional large bedrooms and a full bath ideal for an au pair or an independent teen.
