About This Home

As of October 2024

Owned by the same family for over 60 years, wow!
Set on a quiet, dead-end residential street. When you are outside you can hear the lovely Violette Brook babble away!
3-4 bedrooms, 1-2 baths. Currently set up with a tidy in-law suite upstairs, this home is easily converted back to a one-family. That would make this a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home!
Well-appointed kitchen, including a built-in hutch. There is a good-sized living room, and a bright sunroom on the first floor of the home, along with two of the bedrooms and a full bath. Even laundry is on the 1st floor!
The house is cozy, using an oil furnace as well as a heat pump for both heat and air conditioning!
Upstairs is another bedroom over the ''main'' house.
The 2nd floor in-law suite is a kitchen open to the living room, a nice-sized bedroom, bath, and stackable laundry center! This currently has its own staircase/entry.
Plenty of closets and storage throughout!
There is a 1-car detached garage with an automatic door opener.
While you are outside, you'll get distracted by the beautiful water flow sounds of Violette Brook!
Centrally located in town, close to all that The Valley has to offer, yet quiet side street.
Such a well-maintained home, you really can just buy the home and move right in!
Priced modestly, don't miss out!
