Mature trees and blooming perennials add to the property's natural charm.

There are 3 main-floor bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own full bath, plus a second full bath with double sinks. Yes, some of the finishes are retro, but the solid layout and size offer a great canvas for updates. The finished basement expands the living space with a giant Rec Room (L shaped)a 4th bedroom, a full bath, a laundry/storage area (It even looks like there used to be a beauty shop setup in the laundry room), and tons of closets both on the main and in the basement. City water and sewer. Roof and furnace age unknown.
