Exceptional Recent Improvements + Classic Dutch Colonial Character! Over the past year, the sellers have thoughtfully invested in this charming home with improvements focused on comfort, efficiency, safety and everyday living.

A PROPANE FIREPLACE insert adds warmth and ambiance to the front-to-back living room, while FRESH PAINT and WALLPAPER create a beautifully refreshed interior. The kitchen features BRAND-NEW STAINLESS APPLIANCES.

The LOCATION is exceptionally convenient, with easy access to major routes, schools, downtown, hospital, shopping, dining and everyday amenities. A special opportunity to own a home where timeless early-1900s CHARACTER has been thoughtfully enhanced with an impressive list of modern improvements.
