The expansive dining room is just right for hosting your favorite holidays, and the crisp, simple kitchen has a lovely view of the park-like backyard.

On the second floor, you'll find three large bedrooms and a tandem space that's perfect for a home office, conveniently located next to the second staircase leading down to the first floor kitchen. Oh, and the large attic is a great for storage or could even be transformed into a fun bonus room in the future! The basement houses newer HVAC systems and provides even more storage options. This home is in great condition and has been meticulously maintained by the current owner for over 60 years, but it's being sold in completely AS-IS condition. Be sure to ask your agent about the history of improvements made over the years!
