Description

Impossible to describe the charm of this home. Pictures won't do it either. Walking into the entryway will just begin to give you an idea as to it's true inner beauty! GLEAMING wood floors that have been cleaned and re-sealed will be the first you'll notice. Large living space opens to the dining room. All 3 bedrooms on first level, but they are separated by living space. The tandem closet divided between 2 bedrooms is adorable. There is a huge basement just waiting for finishing. But wait! Open the door from living area, which you will expect to see a closet, but BEHOLD! It's a stairway to ANOTHER large living or storage space. This could be multi-offices, a giant kids room, a dance or music studio. The kitchen is newer with granite tops, 36" cabinets. The garage access is also one of the largest mud rooms l/a had ever seen. This could even be someone's office space. There is an extra refrigerator and freezer that will convey with the house. You are going to fall in love! Washer/dryer new 2022, a/c 2020, wood floors 5yrs.

    "The neighborhood is becoming more and more culturally diverse. There is a mix of older families who have lived in the area since the neighborhood was first built and a growing turnover of young families. Everyone is friendly, kind and respectful. The schools are continuing to improve and surprise me. Wheeling high school is now an excellent school. We initially felt we would move before our kids go to high school, but now we feel we can stay and still ensure a great education for our kids. "
