About This Home

As of January 2017

This classic North West 2 story is full of charm . It starts with the foyer and the french door that lead to the formal living room with the original oak trim and bay window, leaded windows and built in cabinets. The formal dining room has wood beam ceilings and leads to the bright airy kitchen that includes the appliances. The 3 bedrooms are upstairs and the master has large windows, a walk in closet plus a built in dresser. The basement is dry and useful and also includes the washer and dryer.
