The large living room has a wood burning fireplace, built-in shelves, tons of natural light, and a screen porch just out the door. The kitchen, family room, and dining room are open concept with windows and views out to woods in back. The old kitchen now serves as a laundry room next to a den with a half bath. The second floor has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Three of the bedrooms have hardwood floors and two of these bedrooms have en suite bathrooms. The main part of the home was built in 1941. It is soundly built with concrete floors on the first floor under the carpet and slate. The furnace was updated in 2015 and the roof was also replaced in 2015.
