This is a Colonial style home built in 1915. It has been updated throughout. The kitchen has granite counter tops, new cabinets, a custom island, Farm House sink and hardwood. The bathrooms have new fixtures and tile. All rooms appear freshly...
painted, surfaces are crisp and clean. The home is heated by a gas fired forced warm air furnace, hot water is also gas. Both systems appear to be in good order. The basement is rustic, floor is partially dirt and but no water was observed. Remnants of knob and tube wiring were evident but the home owner assures that it has been deactivated and the home has been rewired. The exterior of the home is in good condition as is the roof.
