The main portion of the house features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, hardwoods and tile throughout, crown moldings, exposed brick accent walls, high ceilings, transoms and multiple fireplaces. Entry to the home is via the covered front porch overlooking the quaint tree lined streets where you can enjoy strolling the sidewalks and the monthly neighborhood gatherings. The dedicated foyer opens to the formal living room which in turn has pocked doors to the family room, or you could switch it up and use the formal living room as your dining room. The kitchen has a center island, granite and chopping block counters, glass display cabinetry, stainless appliances, under counter washer and dryer and access to the rear sunroom or dining room. The dining room has an exterior door with steps down to the rear parking pad which has 4 lines spaces for the owner. A guest bedroom with a half bath round out the main level.

There is also a 3rd bedroom and a full hall bath with a shower. The seller has recently expanded many of the closets to provide more storage. Head outside and around to the back where you will find a little patio area leading to the guest apartment. The apartment has an open floor plan with concrete and tile flooring and brick accent walls. The kitchen is open to the living and dining (currently used as a sitting area), and there are 2 bedrooms adjoined by a J & J bath with separate vanities and separate commodes and a shared garden tub and shower with tile and glass surround.
