Offering timeless curb appeal and room for everyone, this home blends classic charm with modern potential. Step inside through the welcoming foyer into a living room featuring a cozy fireplace-perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The main floor boasts a formal dining room that flows into the kitchen, classic layout that has served its purpose well and is ready for your personal touch, along with a convenient laundry area nearby. A dedicated office & a den with a second fireplace offer flexibility for remote work or quiet retreats. The main-level primary bedroom provides comfort and accessibility, complemented by a full bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find 3 additional bedrooms, including one expansive room with vaulted ceilings that could easily serve as a great room or guest suite. The basement presents a unique opportunity for an in-law suite, with a private entrance, kitchen, and plumbing in place for a full bath-just awaiting your finishing touches. Basement needs work. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a covered patio featuring its own fireplace and a generous two-level yard, partially fenced for privacy and play. A new heating system was installed approximately 5 years ago. Enjoy the perfect blend of suburban charm and city convenience-close to shopping, dining, and major highways. Home needs TLC, but well worth the effort!
