Description

Located on a tree-lined, residential street - this appealing home is sited on an extra large lot with plenty of room for expansion. An addition could possibly increase partial water views now present from second floor. The character and charm of this timeless and well-designed home merited it being featured in an architectural book (see attached excerpts). Today's buyers will appreciate its well-proportioned rooms, natural woodwork, welcoming vestibule, living room with fireplace, first floor den...Located on a tree-lined, residential street - this appealing home is sited on an extra large lot with plenty of room for expansion. An addition could possibly increase partial water views now present from second floor. The character and charm of this timeless and well-designed home merited it being featured in an architectural book (see attached excerpts). Today's buyers will appreciate its well-proportioned rooms, natural woodwork, welcoming vestibule, living room with fireplace, first floor den and large eat-in kitchen with sliders out to an enlarged deck overlooking the garage and extensive grounds. Updates include: 2019 four-zone gas heating system, 2012 new roof, thermal windows and extensive insulation. The sellers have treasured this home for over 50 years and now its time to make it your own.
