About This Home
Incredible VALUE and amazing Quality, Character and Condition - you won't find a nicer home. This 1940's brick home is full of beautiful woodwork, hardwood floors, custom built-in storage, stained glass windows and leaded glass doors and transoms. From the impecably manicured lawn, to the polished floors it is evident this home has been most meticulously cared for and upgraded to accomodate todays needs while paying homage to its original design. While the pictures are beautiful, seeing the comfortable flow of the home and the versatile floor plan, in person, will have you wanting the keys. A highly sought after main floor bedroom and full bath add to the convenience of long term living that others have enjoyed here. Addl bedroom space, a covered deck and full bath take up the upper floor. Enjoy an office or hobby room on the main level with a wall of built-ins. The kitchen was beautifully updated with many upgrades, but the original pantry wall cabinetry remains; storage we all dream of. Off the kitchen you can enjoy a covered porch which leads to a 2 car garage. Painted floors and walls create a clean basesment for laundry, storage and rec space, with a Bilco door to access the yard. Definitely a one-of-a-kind home you will be most proud to call Home. Beautiful mountain and Pagoda views and a QUICK commute to KoP.
