Enter through the beautiful front door with the glass bulls eye windows and into a one of a kind home with classic 1934 look and totally modern feel. This home is what you've been waiting for, a home with young systems, appliances, roof, baths, kitchen; a home that has been updated without sacrificing its' charm and character. Often sought but rarely found, a first floor master with great closet space and a large bath. The 2 second floor bedrooms and bath were added without altering the original contour and design. The very comfortable, totally usable finished basement adds significant living space. Everything you need, in a great neighborhood near town, train, medical center and schools.
