About This Home

As of November 2023

Exceptionally cared for home with a 1/2 acre yard which backs up to the countryside! This all BRICK, one owner home was built in 1960 and has never been on the market! A large tiled, foyer greets guests upon entry and features a cute pocket-door, coat closet. A stone fireplace with built-in, wood shelving and built-in speakers makes for perfect, cozy fall evenings and is just one of the many elements that adds character to this home. A solid ash wood, built-in hutch and desk graces the eat-in kitchen, and the wood kitchen cabinets are in beautiful condition. A first floor laundry room is adjacent to the kitchen as is a full bathroom with a step-in shower. The master bedroom has a unique, full wall of closets! The main bathroom also features an enormous amount of built-in storage and has been recently updated (2019) with a NEW countertop, light fixtures, and a walk-in jacuzzi tub. Only the best in this home- ALL windows were replaced in 2015 with high quality, ANDERSON brand windows! NEW ROOF (2023), newer boiler system within last 2 years, newer hot water heater and a newer water softener. An adorable garden shed comes with the home as well. This home is a MUST SEE!
