This Highland Square charmer has been beautifully maintained and enhanced by the same owner since 1971. Enter the expansive front porch into the sealed entry with beveled glass sidelights and porcelain tile flooring. To the left is the living room that runs from the front to the rear with a woodburning fireplace centered on the wall with french doors that lead to the rear patio and fenced yard. Perfect ceilings and crown moldings in the main level. The dining room has another fireplace (artificial) in the one corner and restored oak corner cabinets in two other corners. The kitchen at the rear has 80's Merilatt cabinets and a handy half bath close to the rear enclosed porch/entry. The hardwood flooring has been refinished in the entry, dining room, and all of the second floor bedrooms. Two rooms were combined upstairs to create one very large master bedroom with stunning maple flooring and a large closet. The bath is centrally located on the 2nd floor and still has the pedestal sink. The third floor consists of two rooms and a large cedar closet. The house has all replacement windows, a high efficient furnace and a brand new air conditioner and new hot water tank. The owner is an avid gardener and it shows in the wide variety of perennials. There is a nice patio and small water feature in the rear yard. There is plenty of room to park in front of the two car garage. The main roof was replaced in 2009 and the garage roof was replace in 2023.
