This move-in ready home offers a welcoming front porch that's a great space to relax on a summer evening. Step inside to find a home loaded with character, including hardwood floors and arched doorways. A good-sized living room adjoins a spacious dining room, perfect for gatherings. The well-equipped kitchen has been fully-updated and boasts beautiful white cabinets, granite counters, and refinished wood floors. Two nice-sized bedrooms and an updated full bath complete the main floor. Up is a spacious primary suite with ample closets and a convenient half bath. Down is a good-sized rec room, laundry, and ample storage. Completing the package is a 3-season porch which leads to the fenced backyard with a large patio, charming pergola, and one-stall garage. All appliances remain, including washer and dryer. Located in a great neighborhood, this home is just steps away from Richmond Park which has one of the best sledding hills in town plus a pool, splash pad, play ground, and trails for year-round recreation and fun. Minutes to downtown and expressways too! OFFER DEADLINE -- Monday, 4/29/24 at 12:00 noon.
