Beautiful English Cotswold style home in desirable Oak Hill neighborhood. In need of updates, but with solid bones and charm in abundance. It has a very spacious LR with fireplace, dining room that opens into the Fam Room, bright kitchen, 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and plenty of closets. Private level yard with mature shrubs and old trees. Has been in one family for many decades, and well maintained, but not updated. Quiet street in lovely neighborhood, but convenient to everything.
