About This Home
As of September 2025Walk one block to Nay Aug Park from this beautiful home, loaded with natural woodwork, hardwoods and updates. Wonderful layout with a first floor front office or library, a spacious center dining room, dreamy living room with views of the backyard and a cozy warming faux fireplace, modern kitchen with newer appliances and an adorable breakfast nook with more views of the backyard. Walk out from the kitchen to the rear porch and side patio, great for entertaining and enjoy the lovely perennial landscaping of this fenced-in yard. Large second floor bathroom and a half bath in the basement, this area could be finished for more square footage. Walk-up attic is great for storage. Rear garage is an oversized 1-car or small 2-car but has plenty of space for a car, storage and even a workshop.
