Perfectly situated on a quiet, desirable, tree-lined street in Roxborough, this beautiful 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom property featuring 1-car parking is a homeowner’s dream. Impeccable updates, lovely curb appeal, and its convenient location are just some of the qualities that make this home stand apart from the rest!

Inside, you’ll find a bright and spacious living room, featuring built-in bookshelves and plenty of windows, allowing tons of natural light into this area.

From the kitchen, you also have access to the home’s rear, fenced-in yard. It has a patio that overlooks a deep, grassy area, ideal for barbecues or private outdoor time. The second floor features three considerably-sized bedrooms and a newly-renovated hall bathroom. Each bedroom has ample closet space, especially the main bedroom, and offers plenty of natural light. The bathroom has a white subway tile shower with a decorative accent, tile flooring, and a new vanity. An added bonus feature upstairs is a large hallway closet, great for additional storage.
