About This Home
As of December 2016From its gracious front porch to the period built-in cabinetry and shelving in the living and dining rooms, this beautiful 1919 farmhouse evokes the style and romance of a bygone era. Bay windows grace two of the bedrooms letting in warm natural light. The generous kitchen offers a classic feel that is complemented by modern touches including a stainless steel gas range. A sliding glass door leads from the cozy sitting room onto the back deck that overlooks the fully fenced pool and large separate lawn. There is even a separate laundry room. The detached 15-year-old garage is a car lover's dream with space for two large SUVs as well as more than ample work space - plus there is a huge finished bonus room off the back that spans the width of the garage. Set on a rare double lot, all of these features and amenities flow naturally together creating a sense of uncrowded space in a lovely setting.
