About This Home

As of August 2022

Unique 5 Bed, 2 Full Bath Home. Basement bedroom does not have an egress window or walk out basement door so 4 bedrooms on an appraisal. Features historical trim/ original wood work, but has been updated to double pane & triple pane windows thru-ought. Newer AC Unit, Newer High Efficiency Furnace, updated open kitchen w/ dishwasher, SS Appliances, Eat-In dining area, new counters, new cabinets, open living room, enclosed and finished/ heated Florida room. Said to be updated Anderson windows in home. Large fenced backyard w/ shed. Exercise/ Rec Room in basement. 5th bedroom is in basement. Office is on the second floor. Updated PVC sewage line to the street. Unlike a Bungalow, ceilings on the second floor do not sink in height and does not lose usable space. Normal ceiling height, but second floor does not cover all of the first floor, covers about 3/4 of it. So unique in not quite a Bungalow, but not quite a Colonial.
