Just like a good book can open doors and create opportunities, a good home can be a source of peace and joy for years to come. This tidy colonial home in the heart of the historic Longfellow neighborhood is ready for its next chapter. Wide pine plank floors in the spacious kitchen with some newer appliances. Oak hardwoods throughout the rest of the home create a sense of warmth and tradition. The parlor/living room has a wood burning stove. Enjoy room to lounge and built in bookcases with doors repurposed from Schaefer Hall. The bookcases contain a fun secret - pull the right book and a hidden door swings open to reveal a sunny, fun nook for study, play or whatever your heart desires! French doors lead from the dining room out to the large partially fenced private back yard with its multi-level deck and single car detached garage. The back yard backs up to an alley. The upstairs holds three bedrooms, a full bathroom and generous hall cabinet storage. The unfinished basement has high ceilings and provides a bunch of storage and workshop space. New roof in 2021. Exterior painted in 2021. New ceiling fans on second floor. Kitchen cabinets upgraded in 2022. Newer storm windows on most windows. 3 window a/c units convey. The home was previously a rental which resulted in updated electric, radon mitigation and other minor changes.
