Lovely all brick Whitman built home near the Berkshire Country Club! This home shows pride of ownership through and through. The main floor is open from the large living room to the dining room, through to the eat in kitchen and features hardwood flooring that continues throughout the upper levels. The second floor holds two bedrooms with the second bedroom boasting a built-in workspace, book cases, and cabinets. A spacious 3rd bedroom was recently finished that is an awesome main bedroom . Every room enjoys bright natural light through the numerous windows that afford pleasant views of a huge fenced in yard adorned with blooming annuals and lilacs. The finished lower level has a wood burning fireplace plus a half bath and terrific laundry room with a built-in work bench. Originally a carport, the space was enclosed creating a screened in patio that provides access from the driveway and to the back yard. The roof, windows, and central air were all replaced in 2015/2016 and a new electric line has been run to the home. All appliances including washer and dryer remain, all you have to do is move in! Welcome home!
