You can hear a pin drop on this quiet block. This two-story Georgian home is well-maintained and located on a street with original owners and great curb appeal. There are many updates, with the open-concept kitchen and sunroom for more living space. Entertain on your large deck in the back or in the finished basement which are both great for family gatherings. Almost new stainless steel appliances and a Bosch washer/and dryer. This is the perfect affordable house for a first-time buyer.
