ALL GOOD THINGS WRAPPED UP IN ONE! This amazing DH single, circa 1930, has ALL THE I WANT'S! THE AFFORDABLE DREAM! What's unique about this place is that there are many uses for the spaces upstairs & down. A really versatile floor plan! You can fit YOUR lifestyle into these rooms, rather than the other way around! Features not to miss: CENTRAL AIR, great curb appeal on this corner lot, on-street parking on the side street, as well as a private d/way & garage parking, fenced yard, engineered flooring on the 1st floor, black shutters that accent the maintenance -free vinyl siding, lots of CF's t/o, newly painted walls showing off modern colors & oodles of light streaming into every room due to the plethora of windows! If 1st floor living is all you need, but you desire some space for the grandkids & guests, you have that all here! Otherwise, there is plenty of room for all. The front pathway leads up to the entry, via a steel door w/lead glass insert & sidelites. Step into the sunporch/den/mancave/exercise room/bedroom/toy room (see what I mean?) w/a picture window & a double window w/new blinds. From there, check out the spacious & gracious LR, complete with a non-working stone FP, recently re-grouted, w/a cement mantel (w/receptacle for your holiday lights) & a tile hearth. It truly is the focal point of the room! The 3-paneled bay window in the front looks so nice! Furniture placement is easy here. Across the hall is the 1st floor primary BR, that comes w/an ident for a bureau, a wall of closet space w/organizers built in & bifold doors, grey walls, a raised ceiling, a Hampton Bay CF w/clear paddles, a double & single window & a wide arch to accent the bed. (here too, the choice of what this room is used for is up to you.) The 1st floor full bath, is replete w/wide oak vanity sink w/medicine cabinet to match, tile floor, newer top flush toilet & shower/tub enclosure. The stackable, Whirlpool W/D combo have their own space here as well! In the eat-in kitchen you've got a plethora of oak cabinets (s/s pulls), lots of counter work space, black appliances (new GE microwave & DW, Amana side by side fridge w/ice maker, Whirlpool stove), CF, a double window over the s/s sink w/gooseneck faucet, neutral tile floor & a back door to the yard, deck & garage. Next to the kitchen is an open DR w/newer chandelier, and next to that is a "bonus" area w/ another matching chandelier & double window...both rooms w/many receptacles. Family room? Pool table anyone? You may get the job of large holiday dinners when Covid is over with all this space! Beautiful French doors open to the expansive, freshly painted deck that looks out to the private back yard, due to the shadow-box fencing, some with scallops at the top. Other areas have chain link fence. In the corner, near the d/way, is a trellis & loose stone area. A fire pit would be nice here! The pathway from the house, trimmed in river rock, goes to the detached, bumped out, 1 1/2 car stucco garage w/a brand new 100 amp electric service, 2 newer windows, steel side door & Bessler stairs to the loft. The wide d/way can fit up to 4 cars, depending on size of the car or truck. The garage door is newer & on a remote. Back inside, a set of steps from the LR and DR meet at the staircase to the 2nd floor. (a novelty--one step lifts up to place hidden treasures!) There are good-sized rooms w/brand new carpeting & a half bath w/top flush toilet, medicine cabinet & new pedestal sink on this floor A particle board-walled storage space w/plywood ceiling can hold some storage. Both rooms have "tray" ceilings .One room shows off an open walk-in closet & dressing area. The other boasts a double closet. The neat & clean unfinished basement houses a Bradford White hot water heater, gas hot air heater, 150 amp electric box, brand new laundry tub w/sprayer & shelving underneath, an exit to to the freshly painted Bilco doors, glassblock windows w/vents & a bonus area for storage. Walk to trolley & bus lines.
