Large windows in many rooms flood the home with natural light. The clean stone basement houses a gas furnace (2015), hot water tank, two breaker panels, and offers additional space for storage or a workshop. Outside, enjoy a multi-level deck overlooking a nicely sized yard with mature flower gardens-perfect for relaxing or entertaining. This charming and affordable home is truly a must-see. (id:27476)
