About This Home

As of December 2024

Beautiful lovingly maintained vintage bungalow with all of the great features that are so sought after in this style of home: 9-foot ceilings, open flow layout, hardwood floors, solid wood doors and trim throughout, inviting front and back porches, and many beautiful built-ins. Enter through the front porch into a welcoming foyer with plenty of room for a bench or even a desk! Hang your coat in the convenient cedar-lined closet. Enjoy the cozy living room fireplace which features Craftsman-style inset tile and is flanked by built-in book cases and stained glass windows, this charming house has so much to offer! The hall bath was remodeled with subway tile, a frameless glass shower and a towel warmer. The spacious main bedroom features a roomy closet with built-in organizers. The sunny kitchen has lots of storage, maple floors and is just so adorable! Plenty of room in the large, dry unfinished basement with a 1/2 bath--the plumbing is there ready for a nice remodel and possibly expand it to a full bath. Basement also has room to add a bedroom, an office, a workout room--bring your ideas! Nice patio area and yard with mature landscaping. Washer & Dryer are elevated for easier access. Located on a tree-lined street close to the train, 1 block from Veteran's Acres and near all of the downtown restaurants and shops plus easy access to Route 176, Route 31 and Route 14. The roof was done in 2018, boiler was replaced in 2019, 5 inches of additional insulation was added to the attic in the Winter of 2023, 2-car garage, enclosed garden area and shed, too! THIS IS AN ESTATE AND WILL BE SOLD AS-IS. **Small thin transmitter is on the kitchen counter and is for the right side garage door to open--please do not try to force the doors open manually, thank you!**
