The second floor offers 3 bedrooms and another full bath, with an additional sizable bonus room space on the third floor that could function as a 4th bedroom or for various other purposes. Most living areas and bedrooms boast original wood floors (though not all are exposed), and there are replacement windows throughout. The interior of the home has been freshly painted and professionally cleaned. The property's details and charm, such as wainscoting, a living room nook with bookcases & slate floor, a half-circle front entry door, glass doorknobs, & wood floors, contribute to its appeal. Outside, a delightful back patio provides privacy, along with welcoming paverstone entry steps and a brick walkway to the front door. The sizable two-bay garage, which can accommodate at least two cars deep on each side, will be a delight for car enthusiasts, woodworkers, or mechanics. The roof was replaced in 2017, and the range and refrigerator in 2021. The water softener was replaced in 2024. Other mechanicals and improvements can be found in the MLS supplements provided by your Buyer Agent. A one-year HOME WARRANTY is included by the seller for the buyer.
