About This Home
As of August 2021Charm galore in this spacious turn of the century colonial. Step onto the front porch and into the lovely foyer and the first thing you will notice is the beautiful tile accent on staircase. There have been many updates, both cosmetic and mechanical. The kitchen and first floor bathroom have been updated including the built in corner hutch in the kitchen. There is plenty of room to entertain in the spacious dining room that opens to the living room on one end and into a sun room/office/den on the other end. There are 4 bedrooms and a full bath on the upper level and one of the bedrooms leads to another sun room/office/den. Another bedroom has access to the walk up attic that provides lots of storage space but also the potential to add another living space. Previous owners had removed the wall between 2 of the bedrooms to make a large master suite and nursery, and the current owners added the wall back to capitalize on having a 4 bedroom home.
The hot water heater was recently replaced and can be programmed to turn off and on if you are away. The heating system has been carefully maintained and the electrical panel was upgraded to 220. BUYERS FINANCING FELL THROUGH!
