Property Description
Welcome to 605 Birmingham Ave in the sought-after WoodCrest community! This charming colonial home offers a classic floor plan with plenty of inviting spaces. Freshly painted interiors and hardwood floors throughout most of the home create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Major updates include a roof replacement in 2011, a newer HVAC system from 2020, and updated windows. The private, fenced backyard is spacious and perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Step onto the covered front porch and enter into a bright living room that flows seamlessly into the dining room and a cozy den beyond. The dining room connects to the kitchen, which features a gas range and refrigerator, and leads to a lovely screened three-season sunroom. A versatile main-level room, currently used as an office/den, offers a separate entrance from the front exterior and access through the pantry area off the kitchen. New shelving in the pantry/storage area is included. Upstairs, you'll find three well-sized, sun-filled bedrooms and a charming full bath. The lower level features a full basement with ample storage, a workshop area, and a non-functioning former WC. Shelving and benches are included. There is a chair lift from kitchen to basement, that will be included or removed at Buyer's choosing. Located on a desirable inside street, this home offers easy access to Boxwood Rd, Route 141, and I-95, with shops, dining, and public transportation just beyond the neighborhood. The WoodCrest Civic Association facebook site lists a nearby community pool available for a fee. CIvic Association Fee in 2024 was $10/annual - voluntary. Don't miss this opportunity to own a wonderful home in a fantastic location!
