Classic 4 bedroom 3.5+ bath brick colonial with great curb appeal in the sought after Oakley Country Club/ Victory Field area.

There is a second floor MBR with a master bath and potential deck over the sun room plus two good sized bedrooms, office and additional bath. Third floor walk up is the 4th bedroom and would be an ideal master suite with sliders to a deck, bathroom and large unfinished area.
