Nearly 4,000 square feet, 5/6 spacious bedrooms, 3 full tiled baths and a half. The charm is irreplaceable, the condition exceptional, the character breathtaking. This home was lovingly maintained and it shows in every detail. The light filled kitchen with updated appliances opens to a deck overlooking a large, flat yard framed by mature plantings. Partially finished basement, two-car garage in a coveted location steps from the public library, town pool,schools, shops & public transportation.
