    What's special

    Classic architectural bonesModern functionalityFormal dining room
    This home in West Oak Lane is a great blend of classic architectural bones and modern functionality, especially with that "straight-through" layout that maximizes light and airflow. Interior Charm & Layout Straight-Through Design: This floor plan is highly efficient, allowing you to walk from the front living room through the dining area and straight into the kitchen. While the home currently features wall-to-wall carpeting, the presence of original hardwood floors beneath is a major value-add. This offers a "hidden gem" for future restoration. Living & Formal Dining: The separation of a dedicated living room and a formal dining room makes the home feel more substantial and traditional, perfect for hosting sit-down meals. Kitchen & Bedrooms: The kitchen leads naturally from the dining area. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are served by a central hall bath, a layout that prioritizes privacy for the sleeping quarters. Security & Utility Security Front Door: This provides an immediate sense of safety and peace of mind, a practical feature for urban living. Full Basement: This basement has plenty of opportunies for that creative spirit . It essentially doubles your usable living space—ideal for a media room, home office, or a gym. One-Car Garage: Having off-street parking in West Oak Lane is a premium convenience, protecting your vehicle and adding storage. Immediate Occupancy: The home is "turn-key" and ready for move-in, meaning no major renovations are required before you settle in. Proximity to Schools & Shopping: Being centrally located saves time on daily errands and commutes for families. Dining & Entertainment: West Oak Lane's food scene has exploded .You are likely near Great Restaurants for a plesurable experince. Great property, Great Opportunity Grant Assistance available !
