About This Home
As of May 2018Are you looking for a spacious four bedroom EOG with lots of historic Arts & Craft character? Your wait is over! Step inside and fall in love with this property's rich, pristine woodwork and original stained glass accents. The thick wood trim is gorgeous and the 1920s banister is one of a kind. The gleaming hardwood floors were finished in 2015 and keep with the flavor of the home. Enjoy custom blinds and designer colors throughout. The bathrooms and kitchen boast lots of upgrades and plenty of modern touches. There are new gutters with a lifetime warranty and the soffits have been replaced, too. The rear yard is fenced and nicely landscaped. This quiet, tree-lined street is the perfect place to call home. You're close to the shopping, schools, and the heart of Hampden Heights. Oh and one more goodie: the original DR French doors remain and are stored in the basement.
