A classic home ready for your story to begin. This charming two story home welcomes you from its huge corner lot setting, complete with a sprawling backyard. The inviting front porch creates an instant sense of home, encouraging you to relax and enjoy the neighborhood. Inside, the foyer opens to a stunning living room where the original gleaming hardwood floors and gorgeous woodwork immediately catch your eye. A striking wood burning fireplace with a custom wood surround showcases the space, while a large picture window fills the room with natural light and leads you into the spacious formal dining room, perfect for family gatherings. The updated kitchen offers an abundance of 42" cabinetry and a modern tiled backsplash. A unique, original to the home pull down table with matching benches adds a special touch, ideal as an eat-in nook or as extra culinary prep space.
