The 2 year old poly-chromatic paint job and picture perfect front porch (with swing) says classic Victorian while inside features an open and light-filled 1st floor layout with newer oak floors and an antique black granite fireplace in the center. A spacious kitchen has a 4 seat island and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs features a seriously large 550sf+ primary suite with large bath that has separate shower and soaking tub and a large sitting area near the bay windows. The 2nd floor back bathroom was thoughtfully renovated in 2006 with period tiling.The back bedrooms were combined to create a large suite (which can be separated back into 2 rooms) with an attached & sunny 3 season porch. Fully finished 3rd floor has 3 large bedrooms and a full bath. Basement is partially finished as an office space and workout room. The backyard and patio is a sunny respite and is filled with perennials. Newer roof, 2 zone HVAC and updated 200amp electric. Call now, you will not want to miss this lovely home!
