DARLING home, lovingly maintained with beautiful touches throughout. Perennial terraced garden greets you as you ascend the front steps to a covered porch. Open the red door to a light and airy living room, dining room open to an updated kitchen, and a deck off the dining room. Hardwood floors throughout, and wood floors in the "secret" attic; a sweet space rarely seen in these houses. Pull down the steps from the ceiling on the second floor to see how much space this house really has. The finished...DARLING home, lovingly maintained with beautiful touches throughout. Perennial terraced garden greets you as you ascend the front steps to a covered porch. Open the red door to a light and airy living room, dining room open to an updated kitchen, and a deck off the dining room. Hardwood floors throughout, and wood floors in the "secret" attic; a sweet space rarely seen in these houses. Pull down the steps from the ceiling on the second floor to see how much space this house really has. The finished basement room is cozy and warm, and the additional space adjoining it provides the perfect spot for a music or art studio. Half the garage was used to create usable living space in the basement, leaving garage space for a smart car or storage. Basement, first floor, second floor, and attic, all usable space, should suit any constellation of buyers. This home is located on a picturesque, friendly block. Walk to the train, buses, Co Op, Fairmount Park, and downtown Mt. Airy.
