About This Home

As of October 2020

This all brick solid as a rock home is a treasure. Filled with old house charm and situated in a beautiful wooded neighborhood, it is just blocks to town, school, parks and train. Current owners have lived there over 30 years, and now reluctantly plan to turn the house over to the next generation. Entire first floor is hardwood floors, and second floor is all hardwood under carpet except master bedroom. Don't miss the vintage features, especially original light fixtures in dining room, front entry and upper hall, built-in corner cabinets in dining, and old house moldings throughout the house.The current upstairs office has the potential of being converted to a small 4th bedroom or nursery, or awesome closet. Finished basement rec room offers that get-away space we all need in the winter. Fireplace is in "as is" condition, as it has not been used by sellers for many many years. Possession November 1.New roof in 2018. This is a fine home in which to spend your next 30+ years.
