The first floor boasts hardwood floors throughout, starting with an expansive living room that offers ample space for cozy seating around the fireplace, plus an additional area for relaxation.

The formal dining room showcases original built-ins, while the large kitchen, a rare feature for a home this age, features white cabinetry, a butcher block island, & a built-in bench.
Upstairs, you'll find 4 bedrooms, including a large primary suite with a soaking tub & walk-in closet. On the third floor you'll find a fully renovated attic, which spans the width of the house, & has been recently equipped with a mini-split for heating/cooling-this could serve as another bedroom. Enjoy the recently added workout room in the partially finished basement that also provides you with plenty of storage and a bonus hang out room.
Step outside into your backyard oasis, featuring a newly added stamped concrete patio (2024) perfect for relaxation, along with plenty of room for a garden. The roof was also replaced in 2021. With local restaurants and the beloved Snookies Malt Shop just a short walk away, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Reach out for a private showing today!
