Built in 1939, it is a solid, well-built house that boasts tons of historic charm, now updated with modern amenities. Oversized windows of its time have been replaced with new windows and let in so much light and sunshine. Beautifully refinished original hardwood floors run throughout the house, including all three generously sized bedrooms, accessed by an open and bright landing. Kitchen features new cabinetry, island, quartz countertops, tile backsplash and pantry, and is open to an ample dining area. Bathrooms have been enlarged and updated with all new cabinetry, plumbing, and tile. The original screened-in porch was enclosed a number of years ago and would serve well as a charming office/study or playroom. The original slate roof has been inspected and minor repairs made, and original wood siding has been sanded, repaired, and refreshed with new paint. A newly paved and generous driveway with an ample parking area welcomes you, and the park-like yard boasts mature boxwoods, peonies, and even a pear tree. Other updates include brand new 2-zone Heat Pump, updated electrical and light fixtures, new gutters, and all new paint throughout. Attached side shed, large closets, walk-in attic area provide lots of room for storage. Public Water and Xfinity availability (There is a sewer connector for future public sewer connection.) There is room for an additional bathroom to be added if desired. Walking distance to restaurants, ice cream, shops, and post office. This sparkling home is a must to add to your homes to see in this price range!
