About This Home
Step into timeless elegance with this spectacular brick single offering 3—possibly 4—bedrooms and over 2,300 sq ft of beautifully maintained living space in highly sought after Lincoln Park community. A welcoming covered porch sets the tone, leading into a sun filled living room highlighted by gleaming hardwood floors, large picture window, and a classic fireplace that serves as the room’s inviting centerpiece.
The impressive kitchen features stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a spacious dining area perfect for gatherings. Just off this space is a versatile room—ideal as an office, playroom, or 4th bedroom—paired with a convenient powder room and its own private entrance, making it an excellent option for guests or future in law quarters.
An attached one car garage leads directly into a mudroom with access to the expansive rear yard, offering both practicality and comfort. Upstairs, you’ll find three generous bedrooms, each with ceiling fans, and a well appointed hall bath. The finished lower level extends your living space with a roomy recreation area and additional utility/storage room. Outside, the large deck invites effortless entertaining, while the spacious backyard provides endless enjoyment. A storage shed adds even more convenience.
A rare opportunity to own a beautifully crafted home in one of the area’s most desirable communities—where charm, comfort, and livability come together effortlessly.
