About this home
Amazing in-town Village home on a quiet, established street, yet close to downtown and walking distance to the hospital. Walk to dinner at the Putnam Block this summer!! Lots of updates to this single family home in the last few years, which was previously used as a duplex, and can easily be transitioned back with zoning certification. Downstairs includes updated kitchen with tile floor, backsplash and gas range, updated full bath, dining and living room, both with hardwood floors, bedroom, laundry and bonus room currently being used as a fitness room. Second story includes additional living space and former kitchen great for an extra lounge area, master bedroom with attached bathroom, two additional bedrooms and a spacious half bath with additional laundry hook-ups. Outside you can enjoy two covered porches, one being a wraparound, both with new roofs or head out to the private back yard and enjoy barbecues with friends at the built in gas fire pit and patio. Also, plenty of off-street parking on the new crushed gravel driveway. This home is ready to go and is definitely not a drive-by!
