This timeless three-bedroom, two-bath home sparkles with style and character, and its highly functional floor plan offers multifaceted uses to its new owners. The polished kitchen was thoughtfully updated and provides a flawless work triangle and abundant counter space to help you pull off your dinner party hosting dreams. The bathrooms have been similarly updated and possess a twenty-first century sheen with a nod to a twentieth-century aesthetic. There is no doubt that the nook off the living room will be coveted by all, no matter its intended use: Playroom, art studio, dog containment zone, or dedicated office. The upstairs consists of a true primary suite, with none of the typical tiny closet issues you see in older houses, as an ample walk-in attic space was brilliantly converted to a space worthy of all your fashion and storage needs. The detached garage shines as a unique characteristic of houses of this age and location and will offer tons of overflow storage, workshop space, or just somewhere safe to park your whip to keep the paint job lustrous. Spring evenings will be spent sitting on the large brick patio with the stars twinkling overhead. The huge, flat backyard will be celebrated by your precious four legged family members. This house is a real gem!
