Description

Yes! This home that stole so many hearts when it first entered the market is back and better than ever! The fire damaged garge that hindered certain types of financing has been repaired and ties in effortlessly with the main home. The seller also added a privacy barrier vinyl fence along the garge wall for ample backyard enjoyment. Inside, So many era appropriate details: hardwood floors, brick accents, button board plaster, arched doorways, window casings, walk-in cedar lined closet and even a metal root drawer in the kitchen! The kitchen is bright and welcoming with views of the thoughtfully planted backyard. The owner shared that she made sure to plant flowers and trees for every season so whether it was wreath making thanks to the holly tree in the winter or gorgeous bouquets in the spring, there would always be something to bring inside. The three bedrooms are comfortable in size & the bathroom is so charming with pink and green accents, a soaking tub and shower stall. The indoor laundry room doubles as a mudroom with ample storage. The roof is only 1 year old and the central heat and air was improved this past winter. If you love a home with character and a neighborhood with charm, this is home!

    "This neighborhood is well lit for the most part at night. Everyone keeps their yard maintained. We have families and homeowners of all ages and all are active in walking through the neighborhood, riding bicycles and walking their dogs. Our neighborhood is quiet and without drama. I feel safe walking around at night. The only major complaint I have about the neighborhood I live in now, is that vehicles have a tendency to not realize how fast they going intentionally or not it can be frustrating. All in all I love living here. The elementary school is just a few blocks away for my son to attend and for my daughter to catch the bus. That is another fantastic perk about this neighborhood, the public transportation, MAXX bus is literally just around the corner!! I live within walking distance of two different parks. I am close to the shopping center, pharmacy, retail stores and almost every type and kind of fast food you could imagine."
