A large formal dining room is perfectly sized for entertaining! A handsome wood paneled library with built-in book shelves and 2nd wood burning fireplace is the perfect complement to the main living spaces. Imagine a bright breakfast room, and large 50's era retro kitchen complete with stainless steel work surfaces. A large a utility/ laundry room is perfectly positioned off the kitchen area for ease. There is a total of 4 bedrooms 3 full bath, and two half baths! The Master in-suite is complete with 4 pc tiled bath & walk-in shower! All the bedrooms have custom wooden built-ins organizers.

Roof has leaked and there is the potential of Mold. Bring your contractor? this will not be around long priced to sell!
