This wonderfully well-maintained home sounds like an excellent opportunity! The updates, including the newer roof, gutters, windows, interior paint and furnace, are certainly appealing, and the location near Beaverdale and Witmer Park is a definite plus. The landscaped corner lot with limestone stairs and patio, along with the two separate driveways, adds to the home's charm. The interior sounds spacious and well-designed, with almost 1,900 square feet of finished space and multiple bath areas. The features you've highlighted, such as the decorative fireplace in the living room, the formal dining room, and the step-down family room, sound very inviting. The huge second-floor bedroom with a half bath and skylight sounds like a fantastic retreat with hardwood floors.
