About 522 Watson Ave
If you are a ''clue finder'' like Sherlock Holmes, here you have found your Watson (Avenue)! Check out this charming 3-bedroom brick home located on a high lot boasting a cute covered side porch which one could consider screening! All the windows have been recently replaced with easy to clean dual pane units. There is a new white privacy fence surrounding almost the entire property offering quaint areas for enjoying your outdoor spaces. A real bonus to this little gem is the detached single car garage offering more coveted spaces that one may take advantage - a workshop perhaps? Original wood floors spread throughout most of the home. The spacious hallway (with built in shelving) is centrally located in the bedroom wing creating the ambiance of spaciousness. The fireplace centering the living room's focal point is great for decor and ambiance, but it has not been used by this owner and there is no guarantee to the status of the chimney. The remodeled kitchen with oodles of counter space and a special pocket space for the stacking washer and dryer (yes, it conveys) has rear door opening to the back yard. The cozy dining room sets conveniently between the kitchen and living room with a view of the covered front porch. The electric stove has a faulty oven timer; however, it is worthy to note that one may elect to replace it with a gas cooking model, as it is ''plumbed'' for that! The Gas-Pack heating system uses Natural Gas, which offers economy savings with your utilities. The full bath (with a real window) has also been updated with new commode and sink, while the tub and surround tile has been re-glazed to perfection with a special miracle surface refinishing product. Large floored attic is accessed by a pull down stairs in center hallway. Seller has purchased a home inspection and is available to view from Agent upon request for serious buyers.
