Looking for a solid, seriously spacious colonial in good condition and minutes from Downtown? This home offers a fantastic floor plan with plenty of room to spread out! The second-floor features three generously sized bedrooms, while the third floor provides an impressive additional bedroom with a walk-in closet. A full bathroom is conveniently located on the main level.
The home is filled with character, featuring gorgeous original wood doors, moldings, and trim throughout. The kitchen and bathroom were remodeled just a few years ago, and brand-new mechanicals were installed in 2022. A newer 200-amp electrical panel adds further peace of mind. The bone-dry basement provides excellent storage space and includes laundry hookups.
Great location, excellent layout, spacious rooms, and timeless original woodwork make this a property with plenty to offer. The first-floor flooring will need updating, and the home is priced accordingly. A great opportunity to own a large, solid Colonial and add your own finishing touches!
