Welcome to a wonderful neighborhood filled with timeless charm! Lovingly held by the original owners for more than 75 years, this special home retains its authentic mid-century character and timeless appeal. This home features an exceptionally flexible floor plan designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles. The front bedroom is ideal for guests or a home office, while the oversized rear bedroom offers plenty of room for larger furniture, a desk or exercise equipment. Bedrooms three and four have been combined to create one spacious bedroom and could easily be converted back into two separate rooms. The inviting eat-in kitchen features custom bench seating and a large table-perfect for holiday meals, special occasions and everyday gatherings. Lots of counter and cabinet space, double oven and a large center island. The true difference-maker is the rare and spacious basement.
