Imagine a charming 1950s classic home, nestled in 1.31 acres of a meticulously landscaped and wooded property. This home stands out with its all brick exterior, and cheerful interior painted in rich, inviting colors. The architectural features are nostalgic—classic wood and tile flooring, builtin bookshelves and large windows that allow plenty of natural light to flood the space. The home’s updated kitchen and appliances blend with vintage tile work adding a touch of retro charm. There is a four seasons room surrounded by windows to watch every bit of nature that visits the yard. Pella windows and doors and a newer roof are just some of the features on the extensive upgrade and maintenance list. An attached apartment offers a perfect blend of privacy and convenience, with its own entrance and cozy living spaces. Private bedroom, full bath, laundry option, living room and 4 seasons room make up this addition which maintains the same warm character as the main house and is optimal for family or guests. The lot surrounding the house is nothing short of amazing, with carefully planned landscaping that enhances the property's beauty. The lush lawn is dotted with colorful flower beds and well-maintained hedges and vines. There is a large shed with electrical service.
