This beautifully maintained center-entry Colonial showcases timeless charm and exceptional curb appeal, featuring a classic brick exterior, professional landscaping and a highly desirable Harding Woods location. A gracious foyer with a curved staircase welcomes you inside, where double entry doors lead to an expansive living room complete with Art Deco crown molding and an inviting wood-burning fireplace with the original Art Deco display mantel.
