This beautiful home, with a ton of charm and lots of character, has undergone numerous improvements and renovations since 2017, such as refinished hardwood floors on main levels, kitchen update, bathroom remodels, and fresh painting throughout. With curb appeal galore and a wide front porch, this exceptional home has retained its charm and is a unique property which was custom-built and remained in one family for 3 generations. Situated on a rare double lot, this home offers plenty of space. Cooking will be a joy in the large open kitchen with newly updated countertops, second sink for food prep and a new eat-at counter. Guests will gather in the family room located just off the kitchen and with glass doors leading to the big backyard. Continuing on the main level, there's a separate formal living room and dining room as well as a stone-floored sunroom. The sunroom is enclosed and, with just a small portable heater, remains cozy year-round. A great spot to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evenings.On the upper level, there's a beautiful landing, four spacious bedrooms and two full baths. As in the rest of the home, there are gorgeous heart of pine wood floors.
