Do not miss this rare opportunity to live in the highly desirable area of Orchard Drive! This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, well-built, well-maintained home has the character and charm from 1928 but also has many updated features. The living room and dining area are spacious, full of natural light, and is complete with a beautiful, wood-burning fireplace. The main floor bedroom with built in drawers and two closets is conveniently located next to the full bath. Upstairs, you'll find the other two bedrooms, another built-in, and plenty of storage in the accessible attic. The full basement is a blank canvas for your imagination and has several built-in shelves, a half bath, and the laundry area. There is very little grass to mow as most of the yard is intentionally planted with a large variety of unique perennials. The charming backyard is mostly fenced and features a timeless brick patio.
