Modern charm abounds with refinished pine floors, extra wide window sills, updated paint colors, granite counter tops and a kitchen island with built-in dishwasher. It has a spacious living/dining room and a generous sized kitchen with stainless appliances. A powder room was created on the main level off the pantry and pine planked ceiling added to the kitchen area. All pine flooring was sanded and refinished in 2013. The bathroom is a nice size with dark stained pine floors and a newly tiled marble shower. There are 3 very good sized bedrooms and large windows that allow a ton of light throughout the home. The home has a full front porch and a rear porch as well. There is also a paved patio with pergola and a detached 3 car garage that was an old barn. The home was converted to gas heat with a new furnace in march 2014. Home has central air and unit was just serviced and tested for leaks. All replacement capped windows requiring very little exterior maintenance. The driveway is shared with 4028 Penn Ave and is in the deed. There is parking immediately in front of the garage for 3+ cars.

Replacement and capped windows makes most of the exterior of this home maintenance free. The tranquility of the back yard will have you dreaming about enjoying your summer nights relaxing on the decorative paved patio or simply picnicking. Looking for storage? The three car garage offers you plenty of room to store your treasures offering storage space on the first and second floor. Step in inside to appreciate the generous sized rooms and extra wide window sills. The kitchen offers plenty of room for the chef in you to cook up a storm. Furnace and central air were installed four years ago so they are ready to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District zoning allows for multiple uses. Lease with option to purchase.
