To the left, there is a large living room anchored by a classic brick fireplace and a peaceful sunroom. A casual breakfast nook that leads to the brick patio, laundry/mudroom, and ½ bath round out the 1st floor. The 2nd floor is home to 4 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with classic white tile. The top floor has 2 more bedrooms and a 3rd bathroom. Exceptional details include virgin gumwood moldings, prairie doors, oak floors. Modern upgrades: A/C, Harvey wood windows, sprinkler system.
