Property Description

A welcoming front porch sets the tone for the warmth and charm you'll find inside this home. This beautifully maintained brick home combines timeless character with modern updates, all situated on an expansive 50' x 220' professionally landscaped, fenced lot and a two-car, recently structurally redone detached garage. The interior features hardwood floors, solid oak doors, and elegant crown molding throughout. The thoughtfully designed main level offers an inviting flow, beginning with a spacious living room featuring a cozy fireplace. A dedicated first-floor office provides the perfect work-from-home space, while the separate dining room serves as the heart of the home for gatherings and entertaining. The large eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a breakfast bar with seating for 3-4, and additional table space. It opens seamlessly to the bright first-floor family room, which has a large window facing the gorgeous yard, creating an ideal layout for everyday living. A full bath is located on the main level. The second floor includes three generously sized bedrooms and a second full bathroom with a walk-in closet. The third floor provides a private fourth bedroom with an adjoining sitting area, making it an excellent retreat for guests, extended family, or a live-in arrangement. The basement is divided into two functional spaces. One side is finished, perfect for a play area, craft room, or a second office, the laundry area, and a convenient toilet-only bathroom. The unfinished portion offers a utility room and excellent storage space. With over $100,000 in improvements, classic architectural details, generous living areas, and a convenient location close to shopping, dining, downtown amenities, and commuter rail service, this home is ready to welcome its next owners to add their own personal touch.
