This is the property where the charm and character of yesteryear meet today's modern amenities. I'm obsessed with this stone enhanced colonial cottage's entry porch. The main level has been transformed to the much desired open concept floor plan. This adorable 3 bedroom home offers maintenance free flooring, Modern bright white kitchen with newer appliances included. a 3 year young roof, 6 year young furnace/central air system, vinyl replacement windows, relaxing designer tiled full bath, PVC privacy fencing, rear "as-is" mud room lends to expansion possibilities and connects to a full unfinished dry basement , a great backyard with a cement patio, storage shed , firepit and driveway for off street parking galore. Top off this ideally priced home with the ease of commuting whether by car, train or bus...the choice is yours. Home is in absolute move-in condition and being sold as -is..
