Enjoy the cozy living room fireplace which features Craftsman-style inset tile and is flanked by built-in book cases and stained glass windows, this charming house has so much to offer!

The sunny kitchen has lots of storage, maple floors and is just so adorable! Plenty of room in the large, dry unfinished basement with a 1/2 bath--the plumbing is there ready for a nice remodel and possibly expand it to a full bath. Basement also has room to add a bedroom, an office, a workout room--bring your ideas! Nice patio area and yard with mature landscaping. Washer & Dryer are elevated for easier access.
