Traditional center entrance colonial that has been well maintained but in need of some general updating. The half bath is located in the basement. Shared driveway with adjacent home. Roof is in need of replacement.

This is a nice home built in 1927. It could use some updating of the kitchen and bathrooms, but they are perfectly serviceable as they are. The home seems to have been well cared for. It has a big back yard with some interesting details. It does...
however have a shared driveway with the neighboring home.
