About this home

Pride of ownership is evident! The current owner has 50+ years in this house and the saying IS true. .. They just don't build them like this anymore! As you enter into the enclosed front porch and into this brick home, you are greeted by a large living room with wood burning fireplace and beautiful wood floors that lead you into the dining room. This space has two corner built-ins and is just the perfect space for those special meals. The eat-in kitchen is next. It has the right amount of cabinet and counter space for a chef of any level. Before you move on, don't forget to check out the screened in porch out back! Then head upstairs! There are three nicely sized bedrooms - all with wood floors - and the home's full bath. Now down to the basement! This space is laid out as a family room with a separate laundry area, storage closets, half bath and a small workshop space. Outside you will see the one-car garage, driveway for off-street parking and a nice, level back yard! Please call to schedule your showing today!
