The top floor offers 3 bedrooms and a large full bathroom, including a very large room with walk-in cedar closet. Currently used as gym and office space, this room could be an ideal master suite or multi-purpose room. Beautiful stained glass and gleaming hardwood floors throughout enhance the original character of the home while new high efficiency furnace, new wiring and mostly all new Marvin windows add modern conveniences. The freshly painted full basement offers great storage. Beautiful professionally landscaped yard with raised garden beds, detached 2-car garage and a delightful playhouse /shed. Recently painted inside and out, this gem is located on one of Mt. Airy's most desirable blocks and is walking distance to train, shops, restaurants, local theatre and fitness center.
