There is more beauty inside.
Fur floors, 9’ ceilings, gas fireplace and eastern exposure set the tone as you enter. Into the formal dining, the flooring transitions to cherry laminate floors; style is sustained and durability enhanced. Kitchen provides access to the covered porch and catio. The owners chose a “super screen” to enclose the covered porch. With every upgrade made, longevity and quality drove drove the end product.
Access to the laundry, bathroom and one bedroom are on the main floor. The late owners pursued options of expanding the footprint of the home. Adding a dormer upstairs that included the addition of a bedroom and bathroom upstairs. These plans are available to interested buyers.
Let’s go upstairs
LED lighting, newly installed carpet, two bedrooms (one large) and great storage is upstairs. The larger of the two bedrooms faces East – hello morning sun! The second (yellow) bedroom has a large window.
Basement: Storage and Utilities
Accessible through the side (north) yard and deck, the basement provides space for dry storage and is also where the water heater, furnace and electrical panel are conveniently homed. Ceiling height is adequate for most to stand comfortably. Under the deck there’s room for your work bench.
