Character and Charm define this wonderful west-side home. When you enter the home from the front deck you come into a nice-sized living room and open staircase. Moving through this room leads into the dining area, and a wonderful sunny addition that makes a great first floor family room. There is a non-conforming bedroom, used as an office and a ¾ bath with laundry on the main. Beautiful Oak Hardwood flooring throughout most of the home. The updated kitchen offers great counter space and ample cabinet and SS appliances. On the 2nd floor, are 2 more bedrooms and a full bath. A 2-car detached garage sits back on the lot providing for plenty of off-street parking. The cozy back yard is fenced. You will enjoy the location that is close to Windsor Elementary & St Theresa's, the Franklin Library and easy access to the freeway. Call today for your private tour.
