Built in 1977, this meticulously maintained all brick home has generous room sizes, an open concept in the living and dining areas, is neutral in decor and has over 1,400 square feet of living space on the first floor and another 1,400 in the basement.

The Full finished basement with great floor to ceiling height doubles the living space featuring a large family/recreation room, a full bath that was updated in 2018, a huge storage room with built-in shelving that could also be a 4th bedroom with a little creativity, a dry bar area with ample countertops and cabinets for entertaining and storage, a laundry area with a 2nd stove and double utility sink.
