What's special
This classic 1939 Cape Cod style home blends timeless character with nearly 2,500 sq ft of beautifully finished space, just across from 19-acre Witmer Park with trails, tennis and pickleball courts, a fishing pond, and more! Step inside to discover original details like graceful archways, hardwood floors, and the eye-catching front door. The main level offers two bedrooms and a full bath with tile surround, plus a spacious four-seasons room perfect for year-round enjoyment. Upstairs, you'll find a third bedroom and a convenient half bath. The finished lower level is a showstopper with mid-century modern built-ins and offers flex space for a second living area, home office, workout zone, or playroom. Outside, enjoy the privacy of a fully fenced backyard, garden beds, and a 2-car detached garage. Durable vinyl siding and several new windows offer peace of mind and added efficiency. Major updates include a new HVAC system in 2023. All of this is just a short walk to Beaverdale favorites like Snookies and Motley School Tavern. A rare find in an unbeatable location!
