The living room has large, classic windows and a cozy brick fireplace. Spacious kitchen opens to a private backyard with a large patio and the opportunity for a lovely garden. A detached, single-car garage offers excellent storage potential, plus the home has a basement with tons of storage. The laundry room is attached to the main house for easy access.
