Realtor Comments
Lots of windows mean tons of natural light in the nice sized rooms. Original hardwood floors, gorgeous natural woodwork, and a stunning wood staircase with a cross pattern give it classic charm just waiting to be brought back to life. Convert the enclosed back porch to a mudroom and half bath, main floor laundry, or open it up for an even bigger dream kitchen. With a large back yard and what can be a beautiful covered front porch, your peaceful outdoor oasis is right here. The full and dry brick walled basement houses a water heater and furnace that are just about ten years old, and the roof was replaced at the same time as well, so you can take those items off your to-do list and just concentrate on making this your dream home! Better check it out and find your vision before someone else snatches it up! House is being sold As-Is.
