This 3 bedroom home has been well maintained! Step into the welcoming front entry, showcasing beautiful original hardwood flooring that flows throughout the home. This space includes a convenient coat closet and a classic staircase leading to the upper level, setting the tone for the home's blend of character and modern updates. The kitchen was updated with modern maple cabinetry, tile flooring and stainless steel appliances in 2015. At that time the owner also added a 1/2 bath on the main floor. A double hinge door connects the kitchen and spacious dining room. It is ideal for entertaining with the patio door that opens into the fenced-in backyard. The living room faces the front of the home and while the wood burning fireplace is an exceptional focal point, the owner has not used it. Upstairs, you'll find the 3 comfortable bedrooms. The first bedroom on your right is the largest and also has the walk-up attic access in the closet. The remaining 2 bedrooms both have generous sized closet spaces. Bonus features in the upstairs hallway are a cedar lined closet and laundry chute to the basement! While the basement is unfinished, it provides space for projects with the workbench, entertainment with the piano and laundry facilities that include washer/dryer, cabinets and a sink. There is even a "bonus" toilet room. The roof was new in 2007. The owner recently had the backyard power seeded by Greenway. Sprinkler system controls are in the garage. Please note that the cistern in the backyard is sealed and while the motor is in the basement, it is inoperable.
