This beautifully well maintained home on a quiet street in Forest Park is not to be missed! The home features much of the original charm including custom leaded windows, beautiful woodwork and hardwood floors throughout! The updated maple kitchen features high end appliances and a handsome built in pantry and desk/storage. Additionally, there is room here for an eat in area or a cozy sitting room with backyard views from the bay window. Flooded with natural light, the living room/dining room combo accommodates a crowd comfortably. The front sunroom is the perfect space for a home office or reading nook. Upstairs you will find four roomy bedrooms with great closet space, including an enormous walk in off the primary bedroom, and an updated full bath. The recreation room in the lower level, which was just renovated in 2023, provides additional living space, a full bath, vinyl plank floors and lots of great storage! Both the front and back porches are new in the last 3 years and a new non-lead water line was installed in 2020. The beautifully landscaped yard features numerous perennials for glorious year round color. Please refer to the list of updates under "additional information"
