A charming eastside home bursting with character and warmth, this house will invite you in with its bright, cheery rooms. Step inside to find hardwood floors, a cozy decorative fireplace, and arched doorways. The dining room opens to a sweet deck overlooking the large backyard complete with lovely gardens and a mostly fenced-in space. Two bedrooms on the main and one in the upper, when you walk upstairs, you are greeted by an additional room that could be a 4th bedroom or family room. The large bedroom has clerestory windows, a quaint half bath and a wonderful walk-in closet. Off of the kitchen, there is a great mudroom that is set up to be a laundry room, though the current owner has the laundry downstairs. Lovingly maintained, the previous owners completely remodeled the kitchen and updated many windows. The roof was replaced in 2013. New ceiling fans and lights throughout, new washer in 2019, all carpet was removed and beautiful hardwood floors were exposed. Fresh paint throughout the upstairs.
