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 hall bath was remodeled with subway tile, a frameless glass shower and a towel warmer. The spacious main bedroom features a roomy closet with built-in organizers. 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.
