    What's special

    This American four square home reminds us of timeless craftsmanship and enduring charm. A gracious front porch will greet you, and inside you will find a beautiful, welcoming space with original hardwood floors throughout. Discover on the main level the generous front entry space, quintessential staircase, ample living room and dining room and an updated kitchen! The formal dining room has soft light filtering through a bay window, a setting for great dinners and lively conversations. The kitchen has a large pantry attached or it could be used as a den/office or even a main floor bedroom. As you head upstairs, you will note that each bedroom has hardwood floors, and updated closets. The bonus attic space is a hidden gem - a versatile space for storage or possibility of finishing for more living space! You will also enjoy that the home is heated and cooled by a geothermal system. Outside, the fully fenced yard offers a private oasis, with a partially covered beautiful brick patio. Updates include a water heater in 2023, refinished hardwood floors, fresh kitchen, updated bathrooms and fresh paint throughout. Uncover the treasures of this old-world charmer as-is or continue to update - you choose! Schedule your private showing today!
