Built with solid 1960s craftsmanship, this residence offers solid construction and endless potential to make it your own. The curb appeal is matchless with a beautiful landscaping layout awaiting your magical touch and exterior brickwork, featuring a paved brick driveway, retaining wall and stately brick columns that further enhance its distinguished look. As you step inside to a versatile split-foyer layout with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths (based on current bathroom functional use), enjoy the functional design and flow with comfortable living areas upstairs and a fully finished lower level designed for flexibility.
