Loaded with Charm, this amazingly well cared for 2 story has been in same family for 50 years. Sited in a beautiful South of Grand neighborhood and walking distance to 3 grade schools, this is a perfect location. Tall floor to ceiling windows, 3 living rooms, gorgeous hardwood floors, built in bookcases, a bay window, and built in dining room cupboard are among the lovely features that make this home special. There is an extra wide play yard and a barn that was converted to a 2 car garage with opener. A stunning and useful 3 seasons side porch with newer windows and hardwood floors has even been used in winter time for parties. Newer baths, 5 year old roof, newer exterior paint and newer furnace and central air show off the great maintenance. Don't miss.
