About 221 Pelham St

Needs work but worth the effort! Check out this wonderful Craftsman Bungalow with 3 stall garage plus storage space, nicely sited on a large lot. An enclosed front porch leads to a nice foyer, which opens through an archway with Craftsman-style columns to a formal living room which features a fireplace with a pellet stove. Another archway with columns opens to the formal dining room that sports a built-in hutch with drawers. An eat-in kitchen with a walk-in pantry closet, a small office and a full bath complete the 1st floor. The 2nd floor consists of 3 bedrooms with ample closet space (primary & 2nd bedroom each have a walk-in closet), a den with access to a deck, a full bath, and a hallway with built-in drawers and a laundry chute. A 96% efficient Lochinvar boiler was installed about 15 years ago. The 1st floor has radiant heat throughout, and there is enough capacity to put baseboard heat on the 2nd floor. Roofs were re-shingled in 2017 when solar panels (owned) were installed.
