From the front of the home you'll enjoy the wrap around porch and can enter in front and view the beautiful original staircase, giving the original character back to the home! There are original hardwood floors throughout the home on both levels. Along with that is the original trim work, sliding pocket doors, and a few built-ins, and under stairs closets. The kitchen was updated several years ago with newer counter tops, sink, and backsplash. It also offers a large eat-in area, but you also have a formal dining room. There are newer ceiling fans throughout the home, all matching. A nice added feature is the laundry is in the shared master bath. Another great feature is that there are two staircases in the home, one at the front foyer, and a private entrance from the kitchen to the massive master bedroom. The Master bath does come with double sinks, so nice right! The garage does have gas, water and furnace. Also, there is a large unfinished area above garage that would make perfect apartment space, work space or home office space, or use your imagination!
