The main level flows seamlessly from living room, through dining room, and into modern kitchen at the back of the home. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms and a charmingly preserved full bathroom. The home presents at a southwestern exposure which brings natural light into the front primary bedroom (and the entire main level via that bay window). In the basement, you'll find laundry, garage, and a partially finished den (which the previous owner used for a pool table). Fenced back patio for parking. Convenient and accessible.
