The interior is quiet, serene, and packed full of charm. You enter into a large living room that spans the full width of the home. Featuring beautiful hardwood floors, a bay window, and a stunning fireplace, the living room is the hub of the home. Through a graceful archway, you enter the dining room with an open floorplan to the kitchen. Here the original cabinet uppers with their charming arches and details have been lovingly and carefully preserved. A gigantic porch off the side of the dining area is a great escape as-is, or could be enclosed and finished to be a main-level bedroom or additional living space. Upstairs the primary bedroom and second bedroom are both exceptionally large compared with similar homes. The original hardwood floors and trim are on display as is the bathroom with its preserved vintage tiles and accents. The third room upstairs makes a sweet office or nursery and connects you to the finished attic space. The basement is a cozy and inviting space. Fully renovated in 2020 with a new full bathroom, there is extensive waterproofing, insulated walls, new flooring throughout, and a thoughtful and aesthetically pleasing laundry area. With direct access to the outside, this space could live as a lower level bedroom or as flex space. In general the home is very well cared for and it shows. In addition to the basement renovation, take note of the updated lighting, new hot water heater, and recently replaced roof. The rear yard is massive. Open and flat, it offers a beautiful clean canvas for all of your backyard dreams. Firepits, lawn games, playset, pet heaven - all possible - all at once! - given the size of this yard.
