Over a half-wall to the left is a sunken sitting area, with another wall of windows and lots of architectural interest. It is completely charming and the perfect hangout space! A French door leads into a home office. There are also 3 spacious bedrooms on this level, all with hardwood floors and good closet space. Two full baths, recently renovated, are quite luxurious with ceramic tile, bead board and more! There is a staircase leading from the 2nd floor foyer up to an unfinished attic, which provides an abundance of extra storage. There is also a full, unfinished basement where the laundry is housed, and where there is a brand new hot water heater. There is central air conditioning, newer windows and a one-car detached garage. Just a stone's throw to the town center, train station, college, shopping, restaurants and public library. Don't miss out on this wonderful home! One year seven star home warranty included!
