This tastefully updated late 50's all brick raised ranch is situated on a large 1/2 acre parcel that backs up to private woods. Approach the front porch, enter into and inviting hallway and you'll begin to appreciate the simple details that make this house special. There are hardwood floors throughout the entire house. There is a large coat closet in the hallway, and straight ahead you get a look at the beautifully updated kitchen and view through to the back yard through the window over the kitchen sink. Turn right and the large living room has a central fireplace and built-in bookcases. A new large picture window overlooks the front yard that faces South, flooding the room with light throughout most of the day. The large cased opening between the living & dining room provides a great view to the rear patio & yard. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and a lovely breakfast bar for two people. Black granite counters and all the necessary stainless steel appliances compliment the Shaker style solid wood cabinets, and a huge floor-to-ceiling pantry. The original pocket door to the front hallway can provide privacy if needed. The three bedrooms occupy the Western wing of the house. The master suite has a large walk-in closet and a 3-piece en-suite bath with stall shower. The two remaining bedrooms have ample closet space (as well as a large linen closet in the hallway and the master bathroom). The hallway bathroom was updated in 2019. There is a full (un-finished) basement under most of the house, as well as a powder room, new washer and dryer, and direct access to the 2-car garage. The furnace is a high-efficiency unit, and the central air system was replaced in 2018. Nest smart products are installed throughout the home, including - thermostats (AC/Heat), smoke detectors, video doorbell, and front door lock. The location give easy access to highways, public transportation, and Chestnut Hill is only 2 miles away. The backyard is your own Paradise with a 6' privacy fence.

Welcome Home! This inviting late 50's all-brick raised ranch is the perfect size for those just starting out (first-time home buyers) or for those looking to downsize to one floor living (although there is a full flight of steps up to the main living floor). Situated on a large 1/2 acre parcel and backing up to private woods, it's been tastefully updated. Approach the front porch, enter into an inviting hallway and you'll begin to appreciate the simple details that make this house special. There are hardwood floors throughout the entire house that are in mint condition. A large coat closet is in the hallway, and you get a "peak" at the completely renovated kitchen (2008) and through to the back yard from the window over the kitchen sink. Turn right and the large living room has a central fireplace anchored on the Eastern wall, flanked by matching built-in bookcases. A large picture window overlooks the front yard that faces South, flooding the room with light throughout most of the day. The large cased opening between the living & dining rooms provides a great view to the rear patio & yard. The wall between the kitchen was completely removed in 2008 when the kitchen was renovated, giving the home a remarkably open floor plan that people so desire these days. A 2nd rear door from the kitchen was closed off to provide for additional counter space and a lovely breakfast bar for two people. Black granite counters and all the necessary stainless steel appliances compliment the Shaker style solid wood cabinets. There is an abundance of storage solutions, include a huge floor-to-ceiling pantry. The original pocket door to the front hallway can provide privacy if needed. The three large bedrooms occupy the Western wing of the house. The master suite has a large walk-in closet and a 3-piece en-suite bath with stall shower. The two remaining bedrooms are large, each with ample closet space (as well as a large linen closet in the hallway and the master bathroom). The original bathrooms are in mint condition. There is a full (un-finished) basement under most of the house, as well as the powder room & direct access to the 2-car garage. The furnace was replaced in 2009 with a high-efficiency unit, and the house is also completely air-conditioned. It's not too large & not too small, and perfectly sited for easy access to highways, public transportation and Chestnut Hill that's only 2 miles away. There is even a fully fenced veggie garden (7' fence against the deer!).
