Warm and inviting features like hardwood floors, natural woodwork, and a brick fireplace greet you upon entering, with a quaint window seat and full wall of built-in shelving. 9' volume ceilings and large windows throughout create a light airy feeling and provide lots of natural light. Spacious formal dining room is at the heart of the home and could be used as additional lounging or office space, depending on your needs. Your eyes will be drawn to the wood shiplap ceiling in the lovely kitchen and is completed with appliances, built-in shelving and the "must have" window above the sink! French door leads to side entry and unfinished basement. Down the hallway are 2 bedrooms and a full bath with pedestal sink, ceramic tile and a linen closet for all your storage needs. Outside you'll find a deep, fenced backyard with paver patio and off-street parking.
