The third floor is a true hidden gem with three more bedrooms, including one that boasts a Juliet balcony—your personal escape to enjoy peaceful views. The third bedroom, currently used as an office, features a unique widow’s peak balcony, adding to the home’s timeless character. This home has been thoughtfully updated with newer fish-scale vinyl siding, a stone exterior, and a roof with lifetime shingles. With over 45 newer windows allowing natural light to fill every room, you'll also find an original stained glass window as a nod to the past. Enjoy modern comforts like forced central air and gas heat controlled by Google Nest, and feel confident with recent upgrades including a new electrical panel (2018), chimney liner (2021), water heater, and refrigerator. Situated on a generous lot with both front and back porches, this home offers plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. Plus, it’s walking distance to the train station, town center, and just across the street from a park. With quick access to I-95 and 476, commuting is a breeze.
