So many things have been updated, painted, or replaced. Plenty of character when you walk into the front french doors into the living area from the very large front porch, with an attached parlor for a little extra space to yourself. Kitchen and dining room shows off an abundance of Walnut cabinetry, and a bar area with some unique stained glass fronts, stainless steel appliances and a quaint little breakfast nook currently used for the refrigerator. The old time swinging door between the kitchen and dining area gives it even more vintage flair. Have a seat in the 3 season room for some much needed quiet time. The hardwoods throughout are beautiful, the built ins, the massive storage, some new windows are just a few things to mention WHY you should come take a look for yourself! Roof, gutters, HW heater, HVAC within the last 10 yrs. HVAC serviced regularly. Washer and Dryer newer as well. So much space! As an added bonus-you can become a member of the nieighborhood pool!
