About This Home

As of December 2021

What’s to love about 61 E. Brown Street? Everything. A sweet home, located in a desirable neighborhood within walking distance to the water. This house stands out with the glass enclosed front entry porch, that makes a welcoming visual statement as you drive by! This lovely 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath Colonial offers hardwood flooring, central air on a manageable lot. A bright spacious living room that will warm the heart with a fireplace that includes a gas-insert, hardwood floors and bay window. An oversized galley style kitchen that has more storage & prep space than most kitchens also includes a small convenient half-bath. The dining room, which ties both the kitchen and living room together, can be both casual and formal, with its corner cabinet to dress up or down; sliders to a large rear deck which was built for entertaining and rounds out the main level. The second story consists of a nice sized 3 bedrooms and a spa-like bath, with a jacuzzi tub and separate shower. A detached one car garage that could be fixed up and converted for a creative workshop; perhaps even turned into space for an office - let your imagination fly with this under utilized building. The 0.12 acre fenced yard is accessed via the privacy wooden gate, and is perhaps spacious enough for that 2022 (pool) season, if the shoreline isn’t enough for you. This is your new or next forever home. It's worth the look
