Cozy colonial with great outdoor space. All of the bedrooms are on the top floor. The bedrooms are on the smaller side with a lack of closet space. The yard is spacious and perfect for entertaining!

This is a Colonial style home built in 1920. It has been nicely updated and renovated throughout. It sits on a big terraced lot with vegetable gardens. The exterior of the home appears to be in good condition as does the roof.
