About This Home

As of August 2012

What a doll house located within walking distance to downtown! This house was refinished with loving care. The wood floor in the dining room was refinished to bring out the natural beauty and the crown molding adds a touch of elegance. Ceramic flooring in the kitchen is easy to care for and the cabinets offer plenty of storage. Off the kitchen is the mud room with sliding doors that lead to a spacious patio. The 3 bedrooms upstairs have walk in closets. The upstairs bathroom has ceramic flooring. Ceramic flooring leads down the stairs to the finished basement complete with a full bath and finished laundry room. There is a detached 5.5 car garage behind the house with closets, shelving and attic storage. This home has so much character. It is a must see!
