Inside, the home is flooded with natural light from numerous windows and skylights, with fresh paint throughout the main floor. The large custom kitchen features solid oak cabinetry and a cozy dining nook overlooking the park like backyard. Arched entryways, hardwood floors, and vintage touches give the home genuine character, while a large sunny living room opens onto the formal dining room. Two bedrooms on the second level are each a good size with ample storage, and a main floor bedroom and den offer easy access to the full bath. The finished basement adds a family room, fourth bedroom, second full bath, laundry, and a workshop area with walk up access to the backyard.
