About This Home

As of September 2022

Here it is! An INCREDIBLE opportunity to customize a 1954 Mid-Century Birchwood rambler on an equally incredible, & HARD TO FIND, flat 1/2 acre lot! Enjoy freshly exposed hardwood floors throughout a large portion of the 3 bed, 2 bath home w/ panoramic living room picture windows offering exceptional natural light. The generous 1,538 sqft floor plan includes the kitchen that overlooks a spacious family room addition which features a retro freestanding fireplace + attached large storage rm. The Primary bedroom features a 3/4 ensuite bath. Outside, the massive lot is begging for an epic garage/shop & the deck is newer, too. Clear more trees & open the lot further yet retain the privacy. Roof new in 2010. Did I mention it's a full HALF ACRE?!
