From the 1-car garage, step into a convenient mudroom to drop your coat and shoes, then move into the cozy brick-floored den that houses a slider door to the backyard and a Jotel wood stove to cozy up to in the chilly months. Spacious kitchen with windows to the deep backyard. Large living room with brick fireplace. Fabulous sunroom/greenhouse with skylights and even a mini space off to the side, all prepped to be a “wet” zone for watering all of your plants! 3 generously proportioned bedrooms and a full bath with sweet retro wallpaper complete the main level. The large bedroom has a side room that is plumbed for a 2nd bathroom. Shiny, refinished maple floors cover most of the 1st floor with nice built-ins sprinkled throughout. In the basement, find even more living space with a legal 4th bedroom, 2 bonus spaces, and utility/laundry zone. Outside, find a paved driveway, beautifully landscaped yard, brick pathways, garden shed, and even an old tennis court with lights, that could be revived and enjoyed! Being sold AS-IS.
