About This Home

As of February 2017

The perfect blend of quintessential charm meets ideal location for this character-filled home. So many elements that make this home the reason to move - from the moldings and accents of yesteryear to the updates in the cherry kitchen with stainless and corian counters, hardwood floors throughout, glass door knobs, stained glass, plaster moldings - this wonderful blend is also highlighted by the newer over-sized garage and the 850 sq ft of outdoor living area complete with gas fire-pit, lush landscaping, privacy fence and accent lighting - just another WOW factor for this home. Property is agent owned.
