Spacious Colonial in the Upcoming North End located just outside of the New Center area. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with a finished 3rd floor and bonus room that could serve as a potential 5th guest bedroom, office, or playroom.
Features include a covered porch that is perfect for weather watching and overlooks the nearby "pocket park" across the street. The wide lot next door give the feeling of extra space between houses.
Large oversized glass front door invites you in to find wood floors throughout the entire house. A natural fireplace and craftsman ceilings in both the living and dining rooms add a touch of classic design.
1st-floor laundry, a butler's pantry/kitchen, and additional pantry space are all off the kitchen. The convenience of a 1st-floor half bathroom is also a convenient feature. Dual stairways lead to more hardwood floors on the 2nd floor, where you'll find 4 bedrooms and another 2 full baths.
Replacement windows throughout and glass block windows in the basement. Both the hot water tank and main furnace were upgraded in 2007, and a recent second HVAC system was installed in the attic to provide heating and cooling to the second floor. A nearly complete "tear-off" roof in 2021 adds to the list of updates. Off-street parking with a 2-car parking pad in the rear.
Move-in ready, but a touch of cosmetic work would truly make it your own. Don't miss the opportunity to call this charming Colonial "Home".
