You will be immediately greeted by the front yard, long driveway, and an expansive front porch that adds to the home's classic curb appeal. Inside, the living room invites you with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, original hardwood floors throughout along with abundant natural light cascading from every direction. The formal dining room is illuminated by a gorgeous chandelier connecting to the chef's kitchen with plenty of storage including a large island. Beyond the kitchen is a laundry/mudroom and half bath leading to the enormous outdoor space offering a perfect blend of shade from mature trees while providing a canvas ready for Spring gardening and entertaining. The center of the home features a stunning staircase. The second level features three spacious bedrooms and a recently renovated bathroom with whirlpool tub.
