    What's special

    Video walk-through now available. Enjoyed by the current owners for almost 30 years, this home is ideally situated half a block from Wilson School and its playground. It features easy-maintenance landscaping and a brick paver sidewalk leading to the front deck. Inside, original hardwood floors grace the living room and bedrooms, while the dining room and kitchen boast bamboo hardwood flooring. The finished basement includes carpeted steps, a cozy living area, and a non-conforming bedroom. You'll also enjoy a large shower, a spacious laundry room, and a working sauna in the basement. The kitchen is equipped with oak-finish cupboards, a beautiful backsplash, and two lazy Susans. Anderson windows are installed throughout, enhancing the home's natural light. Outdoors, you'll find two patios—one wooden and one brick-stamped concrete. The home features a Trane furnace with a central air system, serviced regularly by Mitchell’s Heating and Air Conditioning. Additional amenities include a metal roof, two garages (one attached single and one 25x30 with a workbench), and ample storage space with easy attic access. The blacktop alley in the back provides plenty of parking. You too will call this property home for many years to come.
