On an ACRE of property! Now a 4/5 bedroom home! A Sears built home in 1914, was a 2 Bdrm, 1 bath, w/LR, DR & kitchen. The upstairs, finished later on, one large rm & attic space for storage. In the 1940's the present LR was added w/WB fireplace. In 1991 a master BDRM suite added w/a large mstr bath & guest bdrm/office/nursery. Kitchen updated last year-soft close cabinets w/stone counters & back splash. Impeccable yard, clearly the most peaceful place; enjoy the “heated” in ground Gunite pool, listen to birds or work in the garden. Great for entertaining or relaxing w/a good book; the yard works for both- plenty of open space for your enjoyment. Just down the street is a beautiful trail maintained by the town. Enjoy the small town feel of living in Little Silver & the excellent schools.
