Full brick, clean as a whistle, and move-in ready are just a few terms to describe this delightful home at 1 Washington Blvd in Chester. New windows were installed by the former owner throughout the home; kitchen has been updated with modern fixtures and countertops. The window seat in the dining room has bookcases on each side and is simply adorable. The big living room has a wood-burning fireplace which the owner hasn't used. But it certainly is a focal point! Two bedrooms and a full bath round out the main level. Upstairs is a great space for a extra sitting room and small bedroom with wall-to-wall bookcases. Lots of storage space upstairs (check out the rounded hobbit door with finished space in the attic). There is a full basement with a walk-out and lots of storage room. A carport is in back of the house. Yard is small but that means less mowing and maintenance. There is alley access. Check out the roses all around the house. Simply beautiful and timeless. Don't let this one slip by you. Close to the high school! Seller is motivated and selling as-is. Information offered is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Call for a showing today!
