About This Home

As of July 2025

Clean as a whistle and ready to be loved by its next owners. This home is very near the entrance to the established neighborhood of Mayfair. The Colonial design offers great curb appeal. Enter into the living room that has been freshly painted AND floors refinished, as has the entire home, to find plenty of room for your lifestyle. A formal dining room flanks the kitchen which has also undergone some upgrades to include new counters and appliances. For much more casual living, there is quite a large family room with rear facing views and access. There is a full bath downstairs that has been updated for those that want or need it, and a large, two car garage. Upstairs, you will find three generous sized bedrooms and a second full bath that has also been updated. And finally, there is a full basement with laundry and lots of room for storage and easy access to mechanical systems. Call today for a private showing.
