The most charming "storybook" two-story "arts and crafts" style colonial on a quiet tree-lined cul-de-sac street has nothing to do but move in and enjoy. The huge lot has a side drive, a large patio, security lights, and a garage built approximately 20 years ago. Sunny living room, formal dining room with stained glass window, newer windows, newer galley kitchen just three years old. The home has been freshly painted, with newly sanded hardwood floors, a newer bathroom, a furnace that is three years old with a built-in humidifier, and central air is ten years old. The unfinished dry basement has high ceilings and an Interior "French drain" tile system, sump pump, and backup "Watchdog" battery system. The whole house fan keeps the house at the perfect temperature when needed. Electrical system is circuit breakers, and the roof is 12 years old. Nothing to do but start packing!
