About This Home

As of June 2021

Convenience is an understatement here! This timeless Colonial is in exceptional move-in condition with gorgeous wood floors throughout, spacious rooms, cozy living room w/ fireplace, finished room on the 3rd floor and a private enclosed porch. Nearly everything has been updated. The lot may be small but Knowlton Park is just a stones throw away. Plenty of parking & a 1-car detached garage too. Honestly, what more could you want? Should qualify for all loan types. Home Warranty provided to new buyer at closing! Sidewalks along the road make it easy to explore town without a car. Convenience stores, ice cream parlors, schools, salons and more are just a minute away.
