About this home
Located in one of towns most sought after WEST SIDE neighborhoods where more expensive homes are found, this much loved home by the same family since 1946 is sure to please those who seek an opportunity where adding your sweat equity will add tremendously to the value of your new home in this amazing location. The setting is eye catching...the corner lot and beautiful yard add to the overall attractive curb appeal, where the maintenance free siding, replacement windows, solid front stairs, and a beautiful patio enhanced by privacy fencing create the scene of what's to come inside...more character and charm. As soon as you enter the vestibule, you will notice the large living room adorned with a bounty of sun-splashed windows, HW floors, a mantled fireplace, a pretty staircase, and stunning built-ins. From there, you will find one of three bedrooms, that would also serve as a superb home office, a most inviting dining room, complete with a corner hutch, and a kitchen offering an opportunity to come and make it your own...with access to the amazing patio area. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, each with a distinctive personality, and the full bath. Fresh cosmetics will go a LONG WAY here, while additional updates could go on the back burner, or on your immediate "to do" list. You can NEVER change WHERE a house is, but can change with ease WHAT it is. This canvas awaits your finishing artistic touches. Don't delay...this happens about once every 80 years!...
