As you enter this inviting home, you are greeted with gleaming hardwood floors and wainscoting throughout the freshly painted upper level. The light-filled living/dining area with an adjacent kitchen, 2 bedrooms and full bath, provide the ease of 1 floor living on this level. Step down to the lower level, and notice the extra storage areas, including a large laundry room and full bath, while making your way to the spacious den with brick fireplace. The glass sliders in the den provide access to the screened-in porch, perfect for your morning coffee or entertaining friends. This serene quiet oasis overlooks the private fenced-in backyard highlighted with mature landscaping. Also accessible from this level is the immaculate attached garage providing additional storage areas, including a cedar closet. Along with instant access to the train station and Chestnut Hill, you will love the proximity of the Water Tower rec center offering a playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, hockey rink and ball fields as well as Pastorius Park with entertaining summer concerts. The accessibility of numerous restaurants, Fresh Market, and trendy shopping, are just a few of the perks you will appreciate with this convenient location. Newer HVAC, roof, and off- street parking makes this charmer a must see!
