A recently updated kitchen, interesting layout and cool basement highlight this home. The entry is into the living room, with the dining room to the left beyond that, with a wall of windows facing the front yard, and sliders to the back yard. The two...
bedrooms and one bath are to the right of the house, while downstairs is laundry and a rumpus room with built-in wet bar.
