About This Home

Charming and full of character, this three bedroom Italianate brick home offers limitless potential for versatile living spaces tailored to your needs! The main level showcases original woodwork, doors, and exposed brick, complemented by gleaming hardwood floors. The central room, currently utilized as a spacious dining area adjacent to the kitchen and living room, is ideal for entertaining. The updated kitchen features an abundance of Shaker style cabinets, generous counter space, and a cozy breakfast nook. French doors lead to the living room, which includes a walk-in closet that could easily serve as an additional main floor bedroom if desired. The main level also boasts an updated full bath and a second bedroom with a large closet, along with a convenient mudroom back entry. Upstairs, you'll find a quaint kitchenette equipped with a vintage sink, stove, and cabinets for storage. A large flexible space with hardwood floors can serve as a nursery, extra bedroom, or home office. The primary bedroom features built-in shelves, an updated bath with a tiled walk-in shower, and a massive closet. Situated on a corner lot adorned with perennials, this home also includes a carriage-style two car garage with a sliding door. It benefits from dual zone climate control, featuring two furnaces and two central air units. Recent updates encompass a complete exterior paint job, a new flat roof, and house and garage roofing in 2020, a primary bath remodel in 2018, a new stove and dishwasher in 2021, a water softener and filtration system in 2021, a circuit breaker upgrade in 2018, and new gutters with guards in 2022, along with a new concrete driveway in 2017. No VA/FHA. Property is being Sold As-Is.
