This classic two-story home includes a large screened front porch reminiscent of the good old days. It also has the original hardwood floors (upstairs and down), a brick fireplace, large dining room and a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances and lots of storage. There is even a half bath on the main floor. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and attic space that could be made into another bedroom or child's playroom. Many new windows, including daylight windows in the basement. The large 2-car garage was built in 2008. Seller just had the wood exterior of the home painted. The entire foundation was tuckpointed in 2018, all new gas lines in 2019, and chimney was rebuilt above roof - inside and out. Roof was new in 2006.
