One of the best maintained homes in the West End! Pride of ownership is evident in this beautiful 3 bed 1.5 bath Traditional 2 story home. Starting in the front of house you'll appreciate the large, covered front porch, leading to into the foyer and large open living room. Your eye is drawn up to notice tall ceilings, modest trim and tons of natural light! Enter into the formal dining room (currently TV room) w/ picture-frame wood floors then further to the large eat-in kitchen, again with beautifully tall ceilings! 3 sizable bedrooms and full bathroom on the second level, followed by a walk-up attic space; perfect for storage or future primary suite!? Plenty of space to 'suite' your needs! Down below the main level you're greeted by the 3rd finished living room; perfect flex space! Tall basements are rare in the West End and are a welcome treat when it comes to unfinished storage space! Don't miss this one!
