About This Home

As of June 2015

Welcome to 1905 Elizabeth Avenue! This lovely two story brick home greets you with great curb appeal. Walking up to the freshly painted, large front porch, you will see stained glass windows and a stunning front door. Upon entering the home, you step into a large living area perfect for entertaining and family space. You will notice the charming wood detail throughout the entire home. French doors lead you into the formal dining room while you walk on chestnut hardwood, which can be found throughout the first floor. The 22-handle kitchen was updated in the fall of 2014 with new countertops, backsplash, a dishwasher, and windows. The entire home is painted in lovely colors that will match any decor. The second level also boasts hardwood floors, with three bedrooms, an office (that could be used as a fourth bedroom), and a full bath. Endless possibilities exist with the walk-up attic area that is unfinished (master suite, playroom, media room, etc.). There is a large back porch area, plenty of flat yard space, and a one car garage. Call to schedule your private showing today!
