Centrally located on a quiet street in the heart of the historic Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, this immaculate shingled home welcomes you with a broad bluestone walk and steps leading to a glassed-in front porch, and freshly painted pale gray and white interior. A harmonious mix of original details (beautifully carved front door, hardwood floors) and tasteful updates (frosted glass interior doors for maximum light, mudroom and bathroom tile) offers comfortable in-town living with easy access to parks, nature preserve, schools, downtown, and more. Spacious front entryway leads directly to light and airy living room and large dining room. Kitchen boasts stainless appliances and hardwood cabinetry, as well as sunny breakfast nook with built-in benches, and mudroom. Upstairs, two bright bedrooms with peaked ceilings and under-eave storage areas, as well as newly renovated full bath with gleaming white subway tile. Large basement with laundry, ample room for storage, and bonus finished room with large closet. The backyard is fully fenced and private, with brick patio and mature perennial beds, as well as under-porch storage shed. An additional first floor full bath (with tub), central AC, and off-street parking complete the picture. OFFERS FOR THIS PROPERTY ARE DUE MONDAY JULY 7TH AT NOON.
