This 3BR, 2BA colonial home has been in the same family since the early 1970's (2nd Owners). Located on an attractive corner lot, the home boasts updates where they count such as newer, high efficiency gas heater and gas hot water heater. Gas dryer too! Entire house fills with sunlight as it's perfectly situated on an oversized lot. The eat-in kitchen features gas stove top cooking and wall oven. Step down into the sunken family room that could convert into an extended gourmet kitchen, main floor bedroom or more. Nicely preserved hardwood floors throughout much of the main floor living space and entire second floor. Full bath was remodeled in the last several years. Central A/C installed in the last several years as well. Master bedroom boasts great sunlight and large, walk-in closet (a rarity for homes of this era). The dry basement also gets great light and has fantastic potential to be finished for added living space. Direct access from the garage to house is made easier by an automatic garage door. Buyers who appreciate provenance will enjoy the original architectural drawings from 1957 on display in the dining room (included with the home). The backyard with mature trees and shrubs rounds out this fantastic property. In this location and at this price ... it's sure to sell quickly! Bring your buyers and offers today!
