This lovely stone home is filled with character and charm and is ready for its next chapter. While cosmetic updates are needed, the potential is limitless. First floor features a spacious Living Room with wood-burning fireplace, Dining Room, Powder Room, Kitchen and a delightful three season SunRoom at the rear of the home - perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. A single car garage is conveniently accessed through a doorway off the Kitchen. Upstairs you'll find three generously sized Bedrooms plus a small Office. One Bedroom includes an attached Powder Room, with space to potentially expand into a full ensuite Bath. The Hall Bathroom offers a tub/shower combination.
