About this House
What's unique:Roomy garageCool curved bar
The owners of this home enjoyed living here so much, they stayed for 66 years! Now it’s time for a new owner to make it their own. Located a short walk to Sheridan Park, this home features a spacious eat-in kitchen with an extra bump-out that provides plenty of room for meals and gatherings. Just inside the rear entry is a convenient half bath that also has direct access to the primary bedroom. Downstairs, the partially finished basement features a family room and a cool curved bar that adds a little personality you don’t find in every home. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout much of the main level. Outside, you’ll appreciate the roomy garage and HUGE driveway—there’s plenty of space without constantly shuffling vehicles around. The water heater and gutters are new, and the shingles were replaced in 2022. After 66 years with the same owners, this well-loved home is ready for its next chapter. Schedule your showing today!
