So much to love about this home! Built in 1900 on a corner lot, it has a big fenced in back yard with a cement patio, a cute little storage shed, a happy-place-fenced-in garden area, and a fire pit. A wonderful place to entertain friends. Coming up the front walk is a lovely little flower bed and a large deck to the front door. Inside is the open concept living room, dining room and the kitchen. Natural light pours into the area and will be so welcome on long winter days. Just off the dining room is a den/office/non-conforming bedroom (there is no closet). The eat-in kitchen, with an eat-at island has white cupboards and black appliances. There is another room off the kitchen with an entry to the two-car garage, it has a work bench and storage area, and the stairs to the basement. The basement is unfinished and contains the utilities and room for storage. Also, from the family room is the back door to the wonderful back yard. Off the kitchen is a hallway to the master bedroom, a full bathroom with a laundry area, and a second bedroom. This home is one level living with plenty of room for entertaining. With TLC this home will be a cozy vintage charmer!
