Property Description
This absolutely charming, bright, and lovingly maintained 2/3 BR property home in the desirable West Shore neighborhood has so much to offer anyone looking for a terrific home! The property has remained with a single-owner for more than 60 years. Located on a quiet street, just blocks from the beach and walking distance to parks and schools, this immaculate home has had many updates over the years, including a newer roof, siding, windows, furnace, a brand-new electrical service, and new appliances - which are included. All that's left is for you to add your finishing touches to make it your own. There is also flexibility in the layout: the large living room runs front to back, and boasts a cozy fireplace at one end, with room for a dining set on the other end, freeing up space for the formal dining room to be used as a first-floor den/family room. There are two bedrooms on the second floor, with an additional extra room, which would be a terrific office/nursery/hobby room. Gleaming hardwood floors throughout. Enjoy the coastal breezes and shade from the oversized, private screened back porch, which overlooks a level, treed backyard. A perfect spot for entertaining! And the additional 1/2 bath upstairs is spacious and allowing for a future shower install, without losing valuable bedroom space. Don't miss all this wonderful house has to offer.
