If enduring quality of life is important to you, this could be the home for you. 
Reminiscent of American classic homes from New England to the Carolinas, houses like these are always draw respect and attention.
As you ascend these steps you can anticipate the charm and beauty of the home. 
The beauty and benefit of a nice front porch is a great place to welcome guests and receive your Amazon deliveries.
Just step inside the roomy FOYER and instantly feel 'at home.'
WOW! What a visual treat of heart-warming space and decor with the original fireplace, arches, wood column, and hardwood floors.
The Formal Living Room has room to showcase your furnishings from various cultures and time periods. ALL of the Windows in the home have been recently replaced with new PELLA WINDOWS that are ever-lasting.
This beautiful panorama shows the flow from Foyer to Living Room to Formal Dining Space and to the passage to the updated Kitchen. 
One More view to show you how great your beautiful rugs will look in these spaces. Just imagine your furnishings here. It is an interior designer's dream.
This passageway takes us to toward the Home Office, the Kitchen, the Breakfast room, and the TV room or Den. You may notice that the lighting has been modernized to enhance the light quality throughout.
The Formal Dining Room has room for a large table, and has a built-in China closet and pass-through to the Kitchen. The right wall is perfect to show you art items like the fabulous antique chinese screen shown here. 
So much of the atmosphere in these 'first impression' rooms helps create an unforgetable image for everyone. 
The Kitchen has been wisely and carefully updated with cabinetry and appliances that make home life easy and enjoyable. All appliances are included in the sale. The open passageway leads to the Breakfast Area and back entrance. 
This opposite view of the updated Kitchen shows the bar-stool extension and two 'pass through' windows to other adjoining rooms. It's casual, yet sharply designed. Note the plentiful kitchen cabinets. 
Here is a good view of the built-in gas Stove and pot rack. On the left is the bright Breakfast room and on the right is a passage to the roomy Family room or tv Den.
The Breakfast room is a bright morning space to enjoy your coffee or scrambled eggs. The back door opens to the garage entrance and the large Back yard with a deck. 
The Family room or Den is a great place to watch your favorite tv shows, play some chess, read a good book, OR play with your puppy. This neighborhood is very pet friendly. 
The Home Office has nice light and a full bath on the right side of the photo. This space 'could' be used as a fourth bedroom if you need one on the ground floor.
'TOP of the stairs' landing still has the original wooden posts and bannisters preserving the vintage authenticity. The door and hardware is also original and leads to an upstairs covered porch for some fresh air.
This is the light-filled UPSTAIRS LAUNDRY ROOM with granite countertops and lots of cabinet storage. A Full-sized WASHER & DRYER are also here and are INCLUDED in the sale.
You will SLEEP WELL HERE and dream good dreams. The PRIMARY BEDROOM has good cross-lighting from recently installed PELLA WINDOWS and a cooling ceiling fan. The KING-SIZE BED fits nicely between side windows, and Side tables also are a perfect fit.
The PRIMARY BEDROOM (opposite view) showcases the TWO large WALK-IN CLOSETS, and a built-in niche for a bureau and large TV. There is plenty of room for an armoire and additional furniture side pieces. A nice THIRD CLOSET is to the left of the armoire for other items such as bedding linens.
THE PRIMARY BATH and spa is adjacent to the Primary Bedroom and is updated with TWO SEPARATE VANITY stations with oval sinks and granite countertops. There is plentiful storage and large plate glass mirrors. The jetted tub gets plenty of window light and privacy from the frosted glass windows. A LARGE SEPARATE SHOWER is also part of the bath.
Here is one of the TWO SPACIOUS GUEST ROOMs. There is a large closet, and room for a selection of chests, and tables, and chairs.
This FULL BATH retains the original tile floor, but the other features have been updated in the vintage style of the era. This bath is shared by the other two bedrooms.
Here is GUEST ROOM number two which also has a large closet and ceiling fan. This era of home was designed to be VERY FAMILY ORIENTED. So the two additional bedrooms are also good for families with children of any age.
NATURE - IN THE CITY. The 5000 Square Foot lot allowed the homeowner to create this green oasis in the BACK YARD. The large deck is constructed of 'non-rotting' composite planks and is a perfect place for Alfresco Dining. The pergola makes a nice setting for the charming water-feature pool.
This view of the PRIVATE GARDEN and deck includes showing on the left, the entrance to the two car garage and a gated storage area behind for maintenance equipment. The 8ft Fence provides lots of privacy. 
The GARDEN LANDSCAPING is easy care with boxwoods and greenery. The 'grass area' is actually long blade 'astro turf' which is very easy care and never needs mowing. So your 'yard work' weekends are never a chore.
YOUR HAVEN IN THE CITY is meant to give you and yours living spaces to fill every kind of wish for enjoyment of your home and property. 
THE BACK DOOR says "WELCOME HOME" every time you return from your daily outings. It retains the sense of charm from 'days gone by' and is secured behind your driveway SECURITY GATE.
