The landscaping out front has been professionally updated recently and the curb appeal is enhanced by the extra wide lot and lovely leaded windows. The shingles were installed in 1998 and new storm windows installed over all the windows except the leaded ones.

The large treed rear yard is fenced and boasts a new 18 by 12 patio and a large sun deck for summer fun and privacy. There is even a gas line ready for your family b.b.q's.

The street itself is tree lined and very quite with beautiful homes of various design and all well kept up.

Once inside the home you will love all the wood flooring throughout and the natural charm and character you are looking for in an older home.

There is a fire lit living room with an adjoining formal dining area that is laid out for entertaining larger groups of guests or family. The kitchen has been upgraded with stainless steel and Ikea cabinetry that looks like it came right out of a magazine. There is a small eating area plus a breakfast bar, room for all your cookbooks and interesting nooks and crannies too. The stove and built in microwave and dishwasher stay to help get you started. The kitchen window has been replaced and a laminate flooring installed. You will love the lights inside the cupboards! Invite your friends over for tea....will be green with envy.

You can retire right in this home as it has a main floor bedroom and full bath too. The bathroom has just been repainted and a laminate floor added.An adorable mirrored storage area has been designed too. There is a huge foyer off the bedroom and bath area with a wall to wall storage area.

The 2nd floor has lots of re insulated storage areas plus 2 large bedrooms with good closet space and sunny windows. These bedrooms have enough room for a desk and TV area so they are perfect for the growing family. This level too has a large powder room with enough space to easily add a shower. The 2nd floor landing is now used as a TV area for the kids!!

The lower level has windows so its bright, recently painted and high enough to finish. It is definitely a much better basement than most Old South properties. There are new stairs and laundry area. it has been insulated and there is a room for a bath. If you do any canning or just like storage space the cold cellar will work. There is also a door to an ideal workshop that at one time was a garage...it has hydro and double doors to the driveway so its terrific for the hobbist.

The home has some newer wiring and updated panel, copper plumbing,it has been redecorated removing most of the wallpaper and the owner had an environmental assessment done and has been insulating etc to make it more energy friendly.

If you want Old South and love a large lot on a beautiful street but desire move in condition with updates, but not the type of updates that strip a home of its charm and need space and storage you had better hurry and call us directly as we have a key and can get you in...things of this caliber are moving quickly.
