About This Home
As of August 2016You do not want to miss this renovated farmhouse. It has been brought out of its funk. Modern charm abounds with refinished pine floors, extra wide window sills, updated paint colors, granite counter tops and a kitchen island with built-in dishwasher. It has a spacious living/dining room and a generous sized kitchen with stainless appliances. A powder room was created on the main level off the pantry and pine planked ceiling added to the kitchen area. All pine flooring was sanded and refinished in 2013. The bathroom is a nice size with dark stained pine floors and a newly tiled marble shower. There are 3 very good sized bedrooms and large windows that allow a ton of light throughout the home. The home has a full front porch and a rear porch as well. There is also a paved patio with pergola and a detached 3 car garage that was an old barn. The home was converted to gas heat with a new furnace in march 2014. Home has central air and unit was just serviced and tested for leaks. All replacement capped windows requiring very little exterior maintenance. The driveway is shared with 4028 Penn Ave and is in the deed. There is parking immediately in front of the garage for 3+ cars.
