A Gardener's Oasis Step into a beautifully landscaped yard designed for tranquility and vibrant color. The property features an array of mature plantings, including: * Blooming Forsythia, red, pink, and white Rhododendrons, Tulips, Daylilies, Roses, Lilacs, Peonies, Bleeding Hearts, Hydrangeas, Blueberries, and White Azaleas. * Two raised garden beds for cultivating your own fresh produce or flowers. * A stately Eastern Hemlock tree, providing a touch of natural grandeur.

    What the owner loves about this home
    It's on a dead end street, and you don't need to drive to the airport, you can simply walk. It's in a historical neighborhood, but not on the register, so theres no limit what you can do with it. You can walk a kayak down to the river or the ocean in under five minutes. You can see the waterfall from the road you drive to get here. Very walkable and friendly neighborhood.
